This is a little bit off the subject, but it relates to the topic title at hand, so I thought I would ask it.
I noticed that the web address is gist.io. After searching 4 letter .io domain names, I realized most of them are taken. However, I did stumble upon one common word that has not been taken, and in fact, it matches the same word used in a little start-up project I've been working on (workout and fitness tracking).
Now the question is this: I'm a grad student with relatively little money, and $90 is a lot for a domain name. But if I actually finish my little project, is the value of a 4-letter domain name that is a common word worth the $90?
.io names seem to be getting very popular lately, so I need to make my decision quickly. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: And by the way, I also discovered that nap.io is available. I think HN would have better use for the domain than a name-squatter, so if someone wants to create a sleep app or something, there ya' go.
I see you purchased it :) There's a lot of things you could do with it. I think a sleep logger of some sort would be good. People are always worrying about how much sleep they get, and something to track and analyze one's sleep would be great. Just an idea.
Do you think it's a bad approach? It's a memorable word and there's a lot of competition in this area (workout trackers), so I think a notable domain could help.
