Did anyone else notice that the top of the page says "gett.ing a new domain", but the domain they decided to use instead was "get.ing"? I imagine that whoever picked it expected people to pronounce it "get dot ing", but it just looks like "geting" to me, and I don't even know what that means.
I've heard advice that when trying to name a product, it's a good idea to check Urban dictionary before finalizing a name to make sure you don't accidentally pick something crude. It looks like "gete" is mostly okay though, so they may have gotten lucky here.
(edited "get.ting" to "get.ing" because even when this is what I wanted to talk about I apparently subconsciously refuse to type "geting" as a domain)
- dimitarnestorov 3y ago"get" is a common second level domain used by Google for all their TLDs. Look at get.app, get.dev, get.zip, get.mov, get.meme, etc.
- imadethis 3y agoEven better - they also have gett.ing, which redirects to get.ing.
- saghm 3y agoThat feels super backwards! Why not have the typo redirect to the correct spelling?
- divbzero 3y agoThey should consider an alternative like fetch.ing, buy.ing, or register.ing.
- kaffekaka 3y agoGeting is swedish for wasp. Would be a cool domain name, shame it is taken.
