I cannot help but find it funny that domain names are such as a rare commodity that many startups have domains that are different from their names like:

joingrouper getsomething getsomethingapp ... you get the point.

I don't think this is actually a good idea to name your startup this way. Paul graham had a good blog on startup names (see note). SEO space is polluted, people naturally can't remember what your URL is. While it might be ok for mobile apps, I certainly don't think this works for webbased apps.

Thoughts?
