Best Websites I've Seen in '07

Does your business/domain name cause you to break out or blend in?

These four websites POP! out . . . for all the right reasons.

Comedian Steven Wright said, "My grandfather invented Cliff Notes. It was in 1952 and he . . . well, to make a long story short."

1. http://www.SeeMommyRun.com This first domain name is a perfect example of how you can capture and "Cliff Note" your business concept into an easy-to-remember 11 letter(!) domain name. Plus, it features a visual verb which transforms it from passive to active. Well done!

2. Spencer Koppel, a self-confessed nerd, developed an online social network for pocket-protector types. Personal ads include such profiles as "Tall, dork, and hansome." The name? Geek 2 Geek. http://www.gk2gk.com

3. Then there's http://www.SweetOnGeeks.com - a "dating site where gray matters." Bravo.

4. One of my favorites is http://www.Prescription4Love.com, created by Ricky Durham in memory of his brother who died after a 15 year battle with Crohn's disease. Durham says, "He didn't feel comfortable meeting people because he had a colostomy bag. If he had been able to go online and find someone who shared - and understood -- his illness, it might have been different." The site has more than 1000 members with diagnoses ranging from diabetes to cancer to deafness. Kudos.

All of these business/domain names fit the POP! criteria - they're Purposeful, Original and Pithy.
