    hi everybody!
    I registered a domain recently and had a good project for it but I was forced to cancel it and now want to start it from scratch.
    in your opinion, what this domain suits the best? does it sounds ok for a radio directory, or a social network, or a video site?
    wat associatins you make in your mind when you hear the word "zdobz" (I know it's not a word:) ), especially the english natives?
    thanks and regards

    If you push it in the form of ZDobz.com then it might be okay for a social networking or video sharing site.

    For some reason, this domain reminds me of Doctor Dobb's Journal (http://www.ddj.com)

    There's a definite 'tech' angle to it.

    It sounds like a word that you cannot pronounce or that anyone will pronounce in a different way. Probably stick with something that has some diffuse meaning.

    thx, Textor.
    yes, it is a really bit weird with pronunciation, but still not sure how would english natives spell it? as zdobz with "do" from the verb do, or as a zdobz with "do" from tornado?

    actually, I'm a little far from selling such stuff and sending spam
    I'm quite a positive person, so won't take your advice in account, though thanks for suggestion :)

    Maybe something to do with "dibs" like, I have 'dibs' on something, ya know. But I think it has a techy sound to it but a spammy look to it, because it's a very messed up word with no meaning or anything to it. It'd be better if it only had one 'z' in it like 'dobz' or 'zdobz'. Now that I look at it, it kinda looks like a directory sort of.
