    There are many different options:

    sell it, build a new site under this domain, let it expire, park it and earn money for clicks, give it as gift for someone, redirect to another site, etc.

    the name itself doesnt make sense, so not much options. Maybe park it and drive traffic to it

    May be a social bookmarking site, I often see such domain which don't make sense are used for social networking. :)

    Sounds like a social network for teenagers to me. Or a hot-or-not pic rating website.

    Your domain doesn't make sense. You should build brand of your domain. I advice you build dating site or social network site.

    how can i build a social network site or even a dating site?
    do not know anything about programming etc...

    and even if i knew... i suppose i should have the relevan legal things that will secure myself and visitors of my site about their personal information etc, isn't it?

    Also, even if i was going to start such social networking site, what about the first days where the site would be empty? new visitors wouldn not come back to a social networking site where there were... NO members and activity!

    Apart from the above questions, any other ideas about branding this domain/name?

    P.S thank you wounded1987

    You are sitting here typing on a message board on the Internet, and you ask HOW?

    My God,

    You are connected to the single largest database of knowledge the world has ever seen. The answer is LEARN

    I agree with bobchrist as far as building a social bookmarking site. iYooL makes about as much sense as Diigo

    Actually you no need any programing skill to setup dating site.
    You can buy a premade script such as phpfox to make dating site.

    As an addition for pre-made scripts; You can check out a site like hotscripts.com. They have tons of user-submitted content, both free and paid.

    What about the legitimacy of such site?

    as a student, i have no idea if i need to follow any steps in order to be covered about my visitors/members activities, such as uploading photos, completing their personal information on their profile etc?
    anyone to help me?

    Just request that your visitors only submit video of their own or where they have permission. (This wont stop copyrighted video from being submitted, but also say in your privacy policy that you are willing to work with companies to remove anything they find going against them.) As soon as your members or viewers notice only homemade blunder movies are going on they wont feel to upload 'TV STUFF' as it wouldn't be following the culture of the site.

    Most people would capture video on there mobile/cell device, so perhaps try find something that takes video straight from the phone. You could charge and hold a competition. (or find sponsorship)

    For collecting there information you should have a privacy policy stating exactly what you will do with there details, if you do nothing with them state that. Just Google privacy policy, and some site will automatically do it for you.

    This is all just my opinion, but hope it helps!

    Doesn't sound like a good dating site. *nods* From a girls perspective!

    And LOL at the current site: what exactly is it about? *confused*

    Hello sorry i don't mean to hijack your thread but i have the same question out of a domain that was given to me by a friend and i don't want to create a whole new thread on it.

    Any idea what i could do with Gyrlz (DOT) com i take it something girly based but what? I currently have it parked but it's pretty pointless.

    Thanks people.
