[untitled #495]

I am continually amazed at the domain names used by legions of crappy would-be e-commerce sites. campusbooks4less.com. electronics2you.com. accessories-store.com. cheap-affordable-low-cost-web-hosting-service.com.

I mean, have these people not paid attention to the names of popular Web sites? yahoo.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, monster.com.

It could be argued that some of those names make sense at some level, but for the most part, they're short and rather nonsensical. And yet they sound so much more professional than more explanatory domain names.

All of this to say that cockahoop.com was clearly a really good choice. Yay me.
