I can tell you from a psychological perspective, it is alot easier to get 'clubbing' than 'bingclub' into the minds of people. It comes down to how many times the name must be used in order for it to be 'ingrained' in the individual's mind. With 'clubbing' the name already has meaning so changing the association from 'clubbing' to 'club bing' is easier to remember. Whereas, I bet 2 months from now, you probably would not even remember 'bing club'. I for one think they made the right move by getting clubbing.com vs. bingclub.com.

Interestingly, MS hasn't forwarded club.bing.com to clubbing.com. I just found out that Microsoft used to have “Club Live” at club.live.com, so perhaps they wanted to keep the same sort of stucture.

So they could have spent a lot less for a different domain. “If that’s your logic, then why pay xxx for any domain when you can register a domain for under $10 at Godaddy”

Why are we supposed to care about bing? What magical thing is bing going to do for us? I still say search results look like a 1 click lander at a parking company. I just don’t get it.

If MS, a large million dollar company doesn't see the value in a generic .com then no one will. Lucky for domainers, they do care.
