    Hello everyone,

    I'm about to launch a science news website with some social networking functionality and I'm shopping around for a good domain name / brand.

    zscience.com is for sale on Sedo (offer / counteroffer) and I'm curious if it sounds right for a science news website. Something like "zscience.com - Latest science news", the 'z' evoking the idea of 'latest'.

    I'm not sure of pronouncability in english either.

    Anyone have an idea of how much it would be worth, and if its a good idea at all?

    Hi, I think this domain would be worth alot of money! It is very brandable. People across the world say the letter "z" differently. Where I live in Canada, it is called "Zee" but in the States it is called "Zed" I wonder what they are asking for it...my guess is in the thousands.

    Thanks for the pronouncability tips :) 'ZeeScience' and 'ZedScience' are pronouncable enough for me.

    So the only question that remains, is it a good idea for a science news website? When I say ZScience, will it be easy to associate with latest science news or something like that?

    Thanks, as always, great input from this forum!
