To the many friends I did not add your name, apologies in advance. If I overlooked your name and you wish to add, please post in comments area.










Couldn’t agree with you more Sahar!
—-ANSWER—-
Added as well.. thanks for reminder.
Sahar,
You forgot the best domain of all… AmmarKubba.com
—-ANSWER—-
No kidding! added
Well at least I’m not alone
haha. My brand is 404
—-ANSWER—
Absolutely true. I get a small amount of traffic every day on my name both directly and from search and I often hear from people that I’m working with that they’ve checked out my blog.
It really is a reputation solidifier.
I’ve bought the .coms for my friends and family in case they ever want to develop similarly.
Thanks for including me in the list Sahar - it was unexpected but is greatly appreciated…
Figured I better practice what I preach, so I started using the URL instead of my ‘regular’ name… Wouldn’t want people to confuse me with Colin Pape the fly fishing instructor (www.colinpapeflyfishing.co.uk), the army colonel (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/devon/4102399.stm) or the anti-war protestor (http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=15608&pid=994)…
Funny, I just published this article that actually makes the same point in a different field:

Nicely put list.

In my off-line world, I refer to my blog as ViksMarketingBlog.com
In the on-line world, I sign my comments with PersonalBrandMarketing.com
And both lead into my podBlog at VikramRajan.com
I just found out about GoDaddy’s marketing campaign to give .com names as baby gifts… I love it.
Back in school, I was made fun of cuz of my name… go figure, my parents were futuristic! I’m happy this will encourage more unique names in the world: Every culture, I’ve found, gets boring with their kid naming.
