Ideas to develop a site OMGOwned.com

    Hey all,

    I bought OMGOwned.com a few months ago and a few days ago started thinking that it's about time I do something with it.

    The domain name itself is great and naturally there will be a section for images and pictures like this. But I don't want to stop there. One thing is of course user submissions but what else would you guys add to a site like that ? What content/features would make you bookmark/visit a site like that ?

    Thanks for any and all ideas!

    Does the domain have any meaning. It seems like a random domain.

    "OMG Owned" is a very common expression on the net (OMG = Oh My God). I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.

    yeah its very popular online, but I can see how some would get confused or just not "get it". With branding/logo design I recommend you differenciate the "OMG" to prevent this.

    eg. Display it like..

    OMGOwned!


    Recommended implementations:
    1. "Digg This" button. Great for your sort of site and gaining traffic. - people will bookmark funny images.
    2. A forum. Share images/finds/funny stuff - build a following
    3. Add rating + comment script.


    Good luck :)

    Yup, agreed, "OMG" and "Owned" need to be separated. Thanks for the other thoughts too!

    It will be interesting to see what you do with the site, and I look forward to it's completion/online date. I think that many of my Noddegamra site visitors and forum members will also be greatly interested (we love pwned stuff!), so please send me a PM when you get your site up-and-running :)

    Definately add videos. Maybe even encourage visitors to submit videos of them pranking friends. Reward the most popular or voted uploads.

    Just an idea
