I believe this is a smart move by paypal. For the most part, they are a trusted brand on the Internet.
The few aspects I don't like are the domain name x.com and the actual website occupying that domain. x.com to me is too close to xxx.com and doesn't have any meaning besides being the shortest domain name. The website design is poor and the "win a bose" and "win an ipad" banners are atrocious. They should have used a subdomain of paypal.
- robin_reala 15y agox.com is effectively “PayPal labs”
- eddieplan9 15y agoUnrelated, but that would qualify them to apply for the x.xxx domain. Pretty cool.
- Raphael 15y agoI'm sure it's taken.
- amalcon 15y agoI had the opposite thought about the domain name. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature, emphasis mine: A signature (from Latin: signare, "to sign") is a handwritten (and sometimes stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname, or even a simple "X" that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent. Not only is it short, but X has a connotation of identity.
- skeptical 15y agox and xxx are two different segments of the porn industry. I guess porn hackers (yeah, I coined that expression) will be mad if you mix them up. I'm not sure if I am being ironic, relevant, or trying to be funny.
