While everyone is on the topic of generic domain names I am reading a book called: Immutable Laws of Internet Branding by Al Ries and Laura Ries. (find it at: http://www.ries.com/ where else?) Now I dont agree with a lot of his arguments but it sure makes you think. He makes the case that generic words are bad *brand* names and this fixation with generic names for domain names is a wasted opportunity when you could be building a real brand name of your own. "Cars.com is not a good name for an automobile dealership. And cars.com is not a good name for a website that sells cars."
