    hmm, I don't think either domain was that strong. Your new one is probably slightly better

    I think KeepInspiring.Me is the better one, easier to remember and more insightful to what the site is about. It looks nice.

    Why not just develop 2 different design websites. Have them linked as network sites.

    I would say The 2nd one is better, targetted and suits the niche. But first one is also good, so don't drop it, make a blog and give a linkback to your main domain. BeSt oF LUcK!!

    I like the .me a lot more - it's brandable. I can't stand domains that have the word "the" in them for obvious reasons.

    .me is a catchy domain in this case. but .com can give more resale value imo

    I like both but the designzine is good for your purposes as long as it suits your website. Maybe you could keep the original name and make a artsy site.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess it's like a marmite thing. You either love it, or hate it. Mixed responses. Haha.

    Ditto! I agree KeepInspiring.Me is the better name IMO.

    Hey Apple Summers, I don't understand your intention by changing the name frequently. Don't you think that one is better than two to manage?
