plus points for not naming it ticketstumblr..
- okeumeni 18y agoI personally think a missing ‘e’ is among the least problem in domain naming these days, it may actually help engrave the name in someone memory. How about flikr.com, scribd.com, tumblr.com and lately karatr.com? Not that bad as compare to all the strange names I’m not going to mention here so I don’t offend anyone.
- daniel-cussen 18y agoIn my experience, it's very difficult to describe any of those names in Spanish without writing the name down for people. Latin America may not necessarily your main market, but why alienate people? Fotolog is readily pronounceable, and has been doing very well here, despite getting little traction in the US market. Not saying the name is everything; it's just one of the little details that helps word of mouth.
- okeumeni 18y agoI hate to disagree with you on this, in fact I agree with you on most of what you say but reality is most of today’s names must be spell to someone who never heard of it, even Fotolog.
- daniel-cussen 18y agoI see what you mean, but really, in Spanish, and in this particular case, fotolog is really easy to convey: "Fotolog. Fotolog.com, se escribe como suena." [You spell it the way it sounds; it's phonetic.] I agree with you that most names are hard to spell, but in Spanish having a phonetic name is important because the language itself is phonetic.
- fallentimes 18y agoI know you were kidding, but seriously thanks for saying this. We just scooped up the domain as a misspell redirect.
