1 word .name....should I bother?

    I found a great 1 word .name that's available, it's a very common word...should I bother getting the .name, or would that just be completely worthless and something I'd want to sell before the 1 year is up?

    It depends what you are going to do. For SEO, it worth; for returned surfers, it doesnot worth.

    Unless it's an abosolute premium keyword, it probably isn't worth getting.
