Perhaps.
But with the limited nature of domain names, gail.com could definitely be used for something more productive, and helpful, to society.
Considering the state it's in now, you're looking at a large upper range.
- BlackFingolfin 10y agoHow on earth could one do something "more productive, and helpful, to society" with gail.com that one couldn't do just as well or better with some other domain name? I don't buy this argument at all.
- stagbeetle 10y agoGail.com already has a large free pool of constant visitors through misspelling gmail.com. This pool is much more diverse than through targeted marketing, etc. The hostmaster could renovate and display, for example, an unknown, but horrible, misjustice going on with the world. Added with some instructions on how to help raise awareness and stop this misjustice and you have a more productive and helpful webpage, to society. The hard part in raising awareness is getting people to see and acknowledge your message, with gail.com this is already taken care of.
- alekratz 10y agoSo just because you have a sought-after domain name, you can turn it in to greatness just because... you have a special domain name? This argument feels very vague and hand-wavy. I imagine execution of a good idea could do much more for you than a fancy domain name.
- stagbeetle 10y agoIt's not intrinsically the domain name, it's the uniqueness of how it gets visitors, and the diversity of said pool.
