Some of the names are awful, I agree. But most of these companies -- including Flickr -- are using this kind of technique because all the domain names in the world are already taken. It's a defensive/desperation thing.
- LPTS 19y agoI must of got really lucky because we got our first choice (for facing customers) and second choice (for facing Doctors) and third choice (for facing investors/internal). I also got the websites I wanted for my music composition hobby. Not one person had anything we went for across .com, net, or org. Our conversation went like this. "Blah blah" "Blah Blah" "So we're settled, we want these names?" "Yup" "I'll see if they are available." "Cool" "OK, we're golden. All done" "I'm gonna register the name for my music studio too." "Cool" "Done"
