good points. well worth considering the long-term. it IS difficult, however, to predict sometimes which names you’ll be totally sick of and which will be killer in 3-5 years.

@Hooley yes, besides, I think your ultimate choice of dude-who-rides-scooters-down-escalators-in-las-vegas-while-buying-goldschalgger-rounds.mobi is much more brandable and mobile ready ;-)

Agreed. I’m on it.  I especially like the goldschlager misspelling.  I’m totally gonna get way more people who can’t spell to find my site with that one.
