if whatever you're building on the primary domain is successful, you'll end up purchasing the variations down the road anyway and usually at a huge premium because someone else will have bought them up to hitch a ride on the gravy train. Might as well buy them early and save money.
- user24 16y agoI really disagreee with this. If you become massively sucessful on a myspace/google/facebook level then perhaps. But has pg bought yombinator.com? Where does dig.com take you? What about gamil.com? twiter.com? micorsoft.com? Forget about the misspellings, you're not going to lose a lot of traffic to them, people will soon realise they're in the wrong place. Save your money for better things like advertising and servers.

- user24 16y agodel.icio.us was bought by yahoo before it became delicious.com. how many people typed the wrong domain in? Quite a few probably. Not enough to stop it being a huge success, not enough to prevent it being acquired by yahoo. I think it's a non-issue.
