But it's difficult to predict what end users will want while steering clear of trademarks. It's risky but what are you going to do if you don't have investors or a fat wallet? I also wonder, after all of this strategizing about what some end user might want, whether it is kind of futile. I mean, most of the best known Internet presences have a made-up or unusual name that would have been hard to predict would be a success. Eh, it's all a gamble. But that's part of the attraction, isn't it? That’s what I’m trying to do, Jeanny, since I can’t afford to go after generic domains.

Just another term for a process that I called "future trend branding" back in 2004, which was buying domains that seemed to brand trends coming in the near future. However, I rarely announced this publicly because I didn't want a mass rush towards every science news announcement being scoured for these potential premium domains. I guess the cat is out of the bag now. Dang! Good article, Andrew Stephen Douglas “Predictive Domaining”.

But I really appreciate your words of insight and encouragement especially with so much doom and gloom going around in the economy and on the Internet blogs.
