    Yoobs.com, is my latest domain, which i've had my eye on for a good while now, and finally registered it..

    But now, what should I do with it? The domain (imo) is catchy, memorable, brandable etc etc! All things a good domain should be, right?

    But how should I develope this site? What should this site be?

    Post any and all of your ideas! All input is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Well my motivation to buy it was because I love the domain, and because of it's qualitys as a domain. I've had a few ideas, but none definite, which is why i'm asking. I want to develope the site to produce as much profit as possible.

    No point in just selling it.

    It is a catchy domain you've got lucky there because it's short and catchy and normally something like that would be taken.

    I would seriously think through a big project and follow it up. Develop it, design it perfectly, market it to the best you can and try get investment then sell in about a year if it does well.

    Yoobs sounds like it could make a very good web 2.0 type site! (either social bookmarking, video hosting, etc). Not sure, but this is definitely worth a lot of $$ and it's best to get it developed to higher the value ;)

    Yeah I always loved the name, wasn't ever sure though if it was just me who thought it was good.

    I'd love to really take it somewhere, but where to take it I know not! :p

    I thought about a 'social-network', though this area is already too busy, and with the likes of myspace I suppose it could be a very difficult area to get into.

    Anyone got any big-ideas? Need something original, but that could be huge, if executed correctly. (I guess that's the million pound/dollar question :rolleyes:)

    Thanks,

    Thanks! It really feels like a name that has that 'flare' that youtube, myspace etc have, atleast to me, and so I really want to take this somewhere, as I feel it has real potential!

    Thanks for the input, and encouragement = <3 lol :D

    Inter...esting? :p

    Okay I'm having a script done later today, which will *hopefully* allow people to leave comments on the site, and then users can rate them, I will be using this for people to suggest ideas as to what the site should be, and then I can find out what are the most popular ideas, this will *hopefully* let me know where to take the site from there.

    I'll post here once the system is up and running!

    Thanks

    -nMx :D

    Hmm not really what i'm aiming to do with it, + i don't feel Yoobs.com suits a gaming site.

    I want to 'try' and do somethin innovative, like Myspace, Youtube etc (Okay I know it's a big task, and maybe a dream, but it's the image this domain gives me.)

    Thanks

    True, but still very possible. Myspace has been huge for ages but still sites like Facebook, Bebo etc popped up an instantly gained millions of users.

    If you create a well designed site with great functionality and a memorable logo and quick loading time I think you could still make it popular and worth quite a few bob.

    It's so tempting, but as I can't do any of the coding myself (Just the design, even then i'd have to consult with others) could this cause a problem?

    How do others feel about this idea? Is it to late to worth a site worth millions in this area?

    Thanks

    Thanks. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please post them on the site! So far we've had no serious contributions, which is dissapointing.

    Thanks,
