I'm currently looking into a few active ideas regarding the above name, so i thought i'd gauge opinion here of other possibilities. I can't fully develop it right now due to other unavoidable commitments, so it'll give me time to take on board some of the better suggestions.

Cheers all

Correct me if i'm wrong Moderator, but this is what it say's at the top of this particular board:

'Discuss webmastering issues or ideas to help you design websites to make the most of your domain portfolio'

Not such a good Moderator then are you? Come on, lets have another cheap one liner from you, it'll be the only forum i know where a Moderator tries to belittle a member's genuine request twice in one day!

I thought it was quite a funny reply, met with another funny reply!..

Nice domain name though!

 

[anthony]

Cheers Mally!

Yup, certainly is a nice name, thanks!

I've noticed one odd thing though, since acquiring the name and installing stats code on the page, i've noticed that at least 50% are Chinese visitors/ companies, etc. Can't really work that one out at the mo, seeing as the company who transferred it to me never targetted that market. I'm sure there's a simple explaination for the Chinese interest, certainly not aware of any Chinese domainers, that's for sure, although there's bound to be some!

Creative ideas
Gauge opinion
Discuss ideas

At what point are you dicussing your creative ideas to gauge opinion? There is a small irony there in at fire which I find a tad amusing..

Tell us your ideas and we can provide opinion, then you can gauge it and then discuss... :mrgreen: 哈哈

 

[retired_member16]

I think I made a valid point. I will happily discuss any particular plans you have made or are mulling over with regards your site in this part of the forum.

What are they?

 

[anthony]

Yikes, olebean & firestars, you two really are sticklers for adherence to the written word, aren't you? I bet you've both got GCSE grade C English or maybe even higher!

I chanced my arm by throwing out a slightly open invitation at freedom of expression. I now consider myself suitably chastised by the grammatical police, and await prosecution for failure to observe, and entering a forum with a 3-letter generic with intent to steal ideas!

Evening all!

 

[deconstruction]

i cant think of much you can do with it other than offer an sms service of some kinda.

or create a content site (again based around people who offer sms services)

nice name though

domain

why not add txit.co.uk to it and sell as a pair

 

[retired_member27]

I value the domain purely on it's three letter value.

Obviously the only use for it is for some kind of text messaging service, but I don't think you would make much money from it simply because everybody now owns a mobile phone.

 

[mally]

how about selling blue tooth text advert machines?

basically a device that blasts out messages via bluetooth to anyone in range of the transmitter.

e.g A coffee shop in a shopping centre sends out one saying "Pop in and get 50p off a Coffe Late with this message at Costa coffe, yellow mall"

I've read about them before, the person only gets the text if they accept..

When your rich please send me a donation so I can feed my kids

Companies that send customers text messages buy in bulk to get cheaper rates etc

?

As everyone is pointing out, a text message service such as http://www.bulksms.co.uk/ springs to everyones mind, however it's a great 3 letter domain name.

Do you intend to develop it or sell it? Everyone else on here with a good name seem's to turn to Sedo.

There are loads of companies that can build a white label site that would allow people to send bulk sms out.

Loads of links here:

There is one massive company which slips my mind from South Africa I think that does bolt on platforms. Kids like this service as it can save them money if sending lots and it's a bit like instant messaging.

Once had something similar set up, once made £1k in a month without even trying!
