Woops... CrapDomainNames.com

I would never choose a crappy domain name... ok hang on a second..

These days it's almost impossible to get a short original domain name. To fix this problem a lot of companies are using a string of words to get their domain name.

I ran across this great blog post (original post by: Chief Slurler) regarding names that when read have a different meaning then what the companies had in mind. Here are some. If you would like to see all 100 messed up names then check out the link.

A quick summary of the Slurls "rules":

• There’s a website AND
• It’s an active website AND
• There’s a double meaning AND
• It’s not deliberate

1hourscrap.com - Rapid scrapbook making

achildshaven.com - Childcare / children's charity

actionpaintballsac.com - Californian paintball park

americanscrapmetal.com - Scrap metal

amigonefuneralhome.com - Funeral directors

So now that you know better check your domain name to make sure you do not have a built in blupper.

That's My Mug

Oh no, I left my plug in my other pants!

Great idea for people who want to keep their coffee (or wine) mug to themselves and not have to deal with people using your office mug for there own liquids.

The way it works is you can remove the plug and walk away leaving a nice whole in the side of the mug. The only way around this would be if someone bought a duplicate mug and only took the plug-key to work. But who would work in an office with stuff like that going on...

Get a better brand not a new logo

We don't need a new logo we need a better receptionist...

Branding, branding, branding!

Just read this blog and thought that it reflected a lot of the things I talked about regarding branding on the radio show I did Yesterday.
