how choosing the correct domain name is one of the most important things to have a successfull concept
Nonsense. The name is amongst the least important bits of almost any product. It should obviously meet some basic criteria (be pronouncable..). Beyond that it's mostly bikeshedding, unless you're in one of the rare markets/situations where branding really matters.
Moreover the tool you mention seems to be horribly misleading. It gives me a green "70%" in domain availability for a name that has .com, .net, .org taken...
- kamme 16y agoIt's true in some cases the name of the product is far less important, but in my point of view it's only true for more or less traditional products and doesn't apply to new, innovative products (and even then). Some people may like to push a product without giving proper tought to the name/branding but I'm sure it will decrease their chances of success, maybe not a lot, but still. As I see it, today everything is getting more and more connected, a product without a twitter account or facebook page is possible, but imho you're missing out on a great chance to market your product. After you're done with development, it's getting users/attention that counts, and as it's already pretty hard to do that it's best you take every chance you get, even if it's not much.
