Remember the catchy phrases, or hip hop lyrics you mumble..Or the metaphors you tell to your friend with inspiration. Anything can be a domain name, as long as you know who is your audience. If you just want to dedicate a website for your girlfriend, use her name and include IloveNAME.comIt looks like it is fair enough till now. Pretty much, domains are relatively cheap.
Well, here comes the domain eaters (that's how I call them, or domain valet parking)
Businessweek released an article about this domain fear for iPhone.com.
"The iPhone.com name has been around since at least 1995" which is long before Jan.9,2007 when Steve Jobs announced the release of iPhone.
What happens now?
Well, current official site for iPhone is http://www.apple.com/iphone as against to www.iphone.com
It is unfortunate that many people will merely type www.iphone.com to search for iphones, and those entrepreneurs that registered the domains with iphone word will cash their .99 cent to 6 dollar investment on domain registration.
Businessweek quotes that "In a blog entry, Westerdal said more than 4,000 new iPhone domain names have already been registered, with another 4,000 expected by year's end."
