Orkbo.com or SeekIt.ws

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by FCM, Nov 13, 2009.

    I am at a in pass right now. I am currently developing a search engine and was pondering names around.

    I came up with two ideas for a name SeekIt, and Orkbo

    The domains are

    hxxp:///www.Orkbo.com
    http://www.SeekIt.ws

    Which one do you like?

    I personally like seekit, but it's a .ws domain name.
    I also thought of a way to market it by saying, SeekIt.ws [SeekIT Web Search]

    I also like orkbo but at the same time i'm a little questionable about it.

    Well Thanks in Advance.

    Out of those 2, I would definitely not go for a .ws & go with Orkbo.com

    SeekIt is a better name, but .com is a better extension. It's hard to say which one is better.

    the last thing you want is to make users have to think more... .com comes naturally to people and is 1 less thing for them to remember...
    Plus its trendy these days to have a name like "orkbo"

    I understand the rules of the internet "don't make me think".

    But assume I had the .com version? I wonder if the current register would let it go for a couple thousand dollars.

    Still would like more opinions thanks.

    .ws kills most domains? -- as in what do you mean?

    Also the codename for developing is going to be testing while the finished product is going to be Orkbo hope I'm making a smart choice :/

    you need the .com name. Try and ask seekit.com if they'll sell.

    maybe we can have another mode of think, let's say www. seekit.com, i think it's sure that we can get it done.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    I think I'm going to use Orkbo.com but while in development its going to be SeekIt.ws

    They aren't going to let SeekIt.com go which is sad. :(

    Orkbo is a good name and it reminds me of Yahoo and Google how the completely made up words, even though Google is a play on words its going to help us create a uniqueness.

    After I finish compiling the results to how I want them I'm going to be implementing a spell checker, and search suggestions.


    Thanks Everyone
