Smart domains

Almost one month since last posting. Stuff has been happening, most important of which was changing jobs. Let's pick up this habbit again.

Starting with an amazing exercise in finding a number of domains for a big e-gov project. All the relevant ones (ok, the boring ones actually, the ones you'd expect because they say exactly what they mean) ... have been taken!

You'd expect government services to claim as much domains they need, the ones they might use, the ones you'll never use but you don't want them used by others and the ones with a certain appeal or potential? In my former company we had over 200 domains, a lot of which we'd probably never activate but didn't want to see appear with the competition ... Maybe I should refer again to Hawaiian terms, like Wiki and Mana'o!
