"This reminds me of the old argument that you need to wear a suit when demo-ing your app. If you show up in khakis and a polo shirt, people might think you're too cheap to buy a suit."
Weird analogy - I don't see it. I don't know anyone who would think that way in 2011, particularly if we're talking about founders, and double-particularly if we're talking about founders making a pitch.
I agree that "fowndr" is goofy but, to me, it's goofy in a way that might appeal to 15 and 16yos. Not my thing but I don't think it's meant to be so no problem.
- raganwald 16y agoI'm not saying you should pitch in a suit today, but I am saying that picking a domain name on the basis of projecting that you spent money on it today is like wearing a suit used to be. That's why I called it an old argument. I'm also not saying that this would be a bad choice. There has been much talk of someone spending $350,000 on a domain name, and one of the interesting arguments in favour was that the domain could easily be resold if necessary. You can't do that with a suit.
