Examples: t.co (...The .co extension is on the rise. Examples: t.co (Twitter), angel.co, enter.co, 500.co, aspen.co, g.co, cloud.co, amex.co, sbux.co (Starbucks), and surfr.co. Overstock.com bought o.co for a reported $350k and changed the logo. And mega.co is currently trying to sell high, and profit from the launch of mega.co.nz. <br />The domain mega.co.nz reminds me of lyrics.ch, once the most visited website under the Swiss top level domain. Both sites (are/were) targeted at an international audience, are not domain hacks, and still use(d) a country top level domain. Lyrics.ch was shut down in 1999 after music publishers sent in the police to seize the servers - it published lyrics to over 100k songs.<br />Mega planned to launch under me.ga, another domain hack, but that failed, see http://torrentfreak.com/me-ga-hackers-were-real-pirates-well-sell-dotcoms-domain-to-universal-121107/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815999018553645136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415041862544909856.post-76580132498173501202012-12-16T16:43:55.975-08:002012-12-16T16:43:55.975-08:00And fiverr #184 is another very popular misspellin...And fiverr #184 is another very popular misspelling domain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815999018553645136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415041862544909856.post-4432507667119938002012-11-07T23:29:24.432-08:002012-11-07T23:29:24.432-08:00#56 flickr of course.
This blog post http://www.pe...#56 flickr of course.<br />This blog post http://www.pemet.com/2010/list-of-websites-that-end-with-a-random-r-like-flickr-tumblr-etc/ has a list of sites with such domain names. Most of them are offline now, so apparently the cool name didn't work for everyone. Also, they follow the patterns you mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
