Bad Domain Names

This post comes from a wacko down under via Twitter...

All of these are companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear - and be misread...

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is
www.whorepresents.com/

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange Advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com/

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net/

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com/

5. There's the Italian Power Generator company,
www.powergenitalia.com/

6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales,
www.molestationnursery.com/

7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there?s always
www.ipanywhere.com/

8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is
www.cummingfirst.com/

9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site,
www.speedofart.com/

End of his post...Here is my own horror story of a name I nearly bought, then reconsidered.

I was looking for a name for a traffic site I was devoloping and wanted to tie my nickname, "Hammer", into it. Hammer's Hit Factory had a nice ring to it until I searched the name, hammershitfactory.com, for availabilty. It is available for all of you dung factory operators out there...
