What a stupid name...

jesusphreakjesusphreak
in Questions
I ran across this site while browsing del.icio.us's popular list.

1) How do 84 people bookmark a page that does nothing?
2) Is this not the silliest name ever? The domain hacks are starting to get old. I'd even venture to say that the only one that did it decently well was del.icio.us, but even that got annoying.

ma.gnolia.com

I can't get over how ridi.culo.us that name is.

    /me catches on and registeres ssumo.com and sets up a lu subdomain. woohoo! lu.ssumo! Mark's so outdated these days... Come to think of it, i may aswell get go.ogle.com aswell And maybe mic.rosoft.com for the sake of it.

    I remember a while back I wanted nce.com so I could have ignor@nce.com as an email address.

    lol. I love it. Guess it would work with any name with an a in it.

    It would be hard to find the domain for most things, though, as:

    jesusphre@k.com would be k.com, which obviously ain't gonna be available.

    But basically the something.something.com is invented just because some kid invented what he thinks is the best domain ever and it's taken so he adds a dot in somewhere.

    Although I have to say I like their webpage and logo design, love that 'g' (damm can't remember what the term is for the little handle that comes off it).

    not to get too old-school on all the kiddies up in here - but i think that cr.yp.to did it first and best.

    umm... according to my typography book it is actually called ear, don't know if you have some sort of olden english term for it tho.

    Ahh I thought it was a Ligature but it doesn't connect with another letter so an ear it is :). Thanks.

    No no no, ligature is very different thing altogether, ligature is a way of connecting two or more letters together, like many calligraphic handwriting, a good exaple about ligature is W it's two V letters joined together (even tho is is not a true ligature since it is propounced differently than V or VV.)
