When you have the popularity for this question to matter, and the staff to answer it, you'll have enough money to buy whatever domain your research tells you that you need. This was the approach Dropbox took (getdropbox.com -> dropbox.

Hi. I noticed you also posted this on Reddit. While the old title may actually have a positive effect on the story's popularity there, it has the reverse effect here. As you can see in the guidelines ( http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelin

The phrasing is a bit unfortunate, but I think a person talented enough to work there could probably make it happen anyway. They hired Zed, and although I'm not sure where he went to college, it was probably his demonstrated programming ta
