10 Most Popular Creative Domain Name Ideas.

Anurag — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 04:46:19 +0000

Soon after the public gained the ability to buy domain names for personal and business use, most of the most simple and straightforward domain names were quickly snatched up. “Cyber-squatters” took up residence at many powerfully-named domains and demanded large sums of money to relinquish them. As web activity and online publishing has flourished throughout the world, the demand for good, simple domain names has increased. But as indicated, getting a great name in your traditional .com top-level domain (TLD) is virtually impossible without paying a hefty price. Some web publishers have started to be more inventive with what names they use. One great tool is the ability to purchase specific top-level domain names from another country. Even though they are registered in another country, such sites can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet. Some countries restrict domain registration in that country to those who are citizens. But many countries have no such restrictions.

Here are some great examples of creative registration strategies:

Ma.tt

Ever heard of Trinidad and Tobago? That’s where Matt Mullenweg, Wordpress creator, decided to register his Ma domain name. the result is his first name as a complete domain name, Ma.tt. In many ways that’s even more direct than Matt.com.

Blo.gs

Another example of impressive and inventive domain name registration in countries abroad is the Blogs website. This suffix, .gs, is available through a small group islands owned by the British government, the South Georgia and South Sandwich Isles. The small island chain offers this registration to anyone from anywhere in the world, although attaining a TLD from there requires a visit to the islands’ official Internet name registration website.

Chi.mp

Another island chain comes into play in this creative example of using another county’s top-level domain names to create a clever and memorable Internet domain name. Chi.mp uses the TLD from the Northern Mariana Islands, with suffix .mp. Chi.mp has struck a deal with the government of the Northern Mariana islands to offer free domain registrations with the .mp TLD. In plain terms, this cleverly named website helps you publish and manage your online presence.

TV.nu

This TLD suffix is an interesting case. It belongs originally to the Nieu Island in the Solomon Islands. Similar to .mp, .nu domains can be registered free of charge. TV.nu utilizes this domain suffix in a sort of linguistic play. Targeted at a Scandinavian audience, these .nu domains sound like the word for now. This sense of immediacy gives TV.nu a great name, TV NOW.

MTV.tv

Based out of the remote south Pacific island chain of Tuvalu, the .tv TLD has been among the most widely used and distributed alternative top-level domain suffixes. Its implications to the industrialized world are obvious, with TV used as common parlance for television. Thus, MTV.tv rings out perfectly for offering television programming or related materials. Many large media companies and affiliations also use this naming scheme to make it clear they are television-related.

Insure.me

Maybe the best domain name for you is the .me TLD. Originally from the state of Montenegro, this TLD has great play with English-speaking audiences. The .me allows companies to target those looking for an indication of personalized service in a domain name. Because of this linguistic affinity, most of the most obvious domain names using the .me name have already been taken. Nonetheless, many options still exist for this suffix.

Cr.yp.to

Here is an interesting TLD name that anyone can access. Belonging to the nation of Tonga, the .to registry also has an obvious linguistic advantage over other random TLDs. This example uses the .to perfectly as part of another word. In this case, the owner of Cr.yp.to is actually a renowned cryptologist. Hence the name for his personal site.

Will.i.am

For popular music producer Will.i.am, the proper domain name was a no-brainer. By registering his official site through registrars in the country of Armenia, with TLD suffix .am, the artist was able to exactly match the spelling and punctuation that relays his brand name. Simply type his name in the browser window, and voila! It is his site’s complete address.

Last.fm

If you like music or you’ve ever listened to a radio, then the power of the .fm TLD should be apparent. In this example, Last.fm serves as a recommendation engine to suggest new music you may like based on what music you have previously said you enjoy. This use of an alternative TLD gives the site instant brand value within the music and broadcasting niche. The .fm suffix comes from the islands of Micronesia, a group of tiny islands that dot the south-Pacific. And of course, the .fm suffix is available to anyone.

Monetize.it

TLDs from Italy offer a unique proposition to those seeking a good domain name. The country uses the .it suffix, perfect for inferring an action. Monetize.it is a perfect example of this. Unfortunately, only Italian and other EU citizens may register a .it name and the transactions will take place in the native language.

As this shows, there are a large number of possibilities open to you if you’re looking for a good domain name that speaks volumes about what you do. The first thing to do is to look around and see what obscure TLD suffixes are available, such as .us from the United States or .is from Iceland, for instance. Then, think of an appropriate way to make them work with your idea for a domain name. Have fun.

5 Tips For Boosting Up Your Typing Speed.

Anurag — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:30:26 +0000

These days everybody is using computer in their offices for productivity. Typing speed is considered as major factor in productivity. User interface features such as spell checker, auto complete and auto replace serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make. Typing Speed is measured in Words per minute (WPM), commonly used in recruitment. For the purposes of WPM measurement a word is standardized to five characters or keystrokes. Therefore, “fifth” counts as one word, but “fifteenth” counts as two. Coming to the main point, in this post I had given 5 “easy to implement” tips for increasing your typing speed

1) Position of your body:

This is the basic of learning the typing skills. You have to sit straight with a comfortable height of the chair from where you can see to your monitor. Your end of the palm must be grounded to the end of the keyboard or surface where your keyboard is placed. Place your fingers correctly on the keyboard. Never try to type with your fingertips or nails.

2) Placement of hands:

Always try to type with both hands. Many people try to type maximum letters on the keyboard with single hand. This will slow down your typing speed terrifically. Divide groups in the keyboard for both hands. Always use thumb of any hand you prefer for the space bar.

3) Memorize the Keys:

Try to memorize the position of the keys and keep it in mind. It will help you typing without seeing to the keyboard. You can type with much more speed without seeing to the keyboard. It is very easy if you practice daily for it. In Initial few days let there be mistakes in typing but don’t look towards keyboard, instead try to remember the keys. If you get use to it, you can see much more progress in your typing speed.

4) Maximize Use of Shortcut Keys:

Shortcut keys are very handy for computer users. Shortcuts keys help provide an easier and usually quicker method of navigating and using computer applications. While writing content you can easily format the text if you make use of shortcut keys, which will save your further time of formatting the document.

5) Practice makes man perfect:

Without practice no one can be a good typist. Try to give an hour daily as practice session for Typing. You can use any of these online tools like TypingMaster, PowerTyping, TypingTest, and Learn2Type for practice.These above websites will show you graph and detailed report of your typing speed improvement,there is also facility of printing a Certificate on completion of the typing course.

5 Solutions For Data Recovery.

Anurag — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 03:22:55 +0000

Everybody has had that moment of dread where you discover the file you need is corrupt, unreadable, or accidentally deleted. Here are 5 pieces of software which can save the day. The thing about recovery software is that they don’t necessarily use the same methods to get back your data – so if one doesn’t work out for you, you can try another solution listed here and hopefully one of them will work!

1)Undelete Plus.

If you want to get back files which you deleted accidentally from your hard drive I’d recommend Undelete Plus. It is one of the best software you can use in such cases. It can also recover files that have been emptied from the Recycle Bin.

Undelete Plus works under Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista operating systems.

The program supports all Windows file systems for hard and floppy drives including FAT12/16/32,NTFS/NTFS5 and image recovery from CompactFlash, SmartMedia, MultiMedia and Secure Digital cards. Free of course.

2)Recuva.

Recuva (pronounced “recover”) is another freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This will also take care of files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. Also – It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses! It is a product from the same company which gave us the excellent Ccleaner.

3)Unstoppable Copier.

Unstoppable Copier is useful to copy files from any damaged media sources, like CD’s, DVD’s, USB and hard drive as it recovers files from disks with physical damage. This allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made useable even if some parts were not recoverable in the end. Multiple directories structures or single files can be dragged and dropped onto unstoppable copier for transfer.

4)Restoration.

Restoration is an easy to use and straight forward tool to undelete files that were removed from the recycle bin or directly deleted from within Windows, and even Flash cards that had been formatted. Upon start, you can scan for all files that may be recovered and also limit the results by entering a search term or extension. The program is small and standalone, it does not require installation and can also run from a Floppy disk/USB.

5)Recovery Toolbox for CD.

Recovery Toolbox has bailed me out of many tricky situations like when my PC refused to recognize the CD I’d stuck in its guts. This is the best CD recovery program out there and if you download any one software from this list, it has to be Recovery Toolbox! It has an attractive GUI. It is also quite simple to use. Users only have to select which files to copy and where to copy. This program works on all things, CD, DVD, Blu-ray and also HDVD (For those unlucky souls who bought them). Like the name suggests it is completely free. A worthy download.

Great Sites For Online Image Editing.

Anurag — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:30:51 +0000

A few days back my colleague asked me if I could edit one photo of his in Photoshop. I am some what good at editing photos in Photoshop but at that particular point of time I could not help him since I did not have Photoshop installed on my system. This is really common case which most of us face. We want to edit our photos and at the most needed time we do not have the appropriate tools at our disposal.So to overcome this problem i googled few minutes and got solution for the prob.Now coming back to the topic.

I Would recommend you 3 of the most popular online photo editors.

1. Phixr

Phixr is an interesting site which does not use Flash. It is completely Ajax based and has got the potential to give the user a complete satisfaction. The most likable feature I found in this was the ability to convert your photograph into an artistic polaroid snapshot, comment bubbles and effects. It gives you the facility of direct upload of the edited photo to numerous photo sharing sites like Facebook, Flickr, Picasaweb and so on. Moreover, its complete free to use.

Phixr Working Interface – Click On Screenshot to View Full Size.

Its not a compulsion for registering for using the tool. You can try out the demo from the photo shown on the front page itself and check the features for yourself

2. SplashUp

If you are a Photoshop addict and cannot think of any other tool besides it, then you are in for a real surprise. SplashUp, earlier called Fauxto is a very well designed application which closely resembles Photoshop. It has the same look and feel and is completely made in Flash. The bonus of using SplashUp is that you can actually save your work in its own file format so that you can continue working on it later. It is the first online tool, to give a layered editing environment and work on multiple images at the same time without your browser getting hanged up. Doesn’t that sound exciting enough?

Link : SplashUp Homepage

3. Picnik

Picnik one is one of my favorites and one of the most used tools while editing photos online. This is because, Flick has recently bought it, and it has been directly integrated into flickr. This makes editing your online flickr photos even more simpler. Just go to a flickr photo and choose the Edit Photo button, which opens up in a picnik editor mode. Check out for the humorous load messages it shows. The only thing I dislike about it is it takes a lot of time to load the photo which is not the case in SplashUp.

Picnik has a lot of amazing features to offer but they all do not come for free. Yet you are free to use some commonly used features with ease. Check out for fancy text effects and custom shapes. They are surely fantastic. With a tool like Picnik you wouldn’t need Photoshop around for common usages.

Features:

Fix your photos in just one click
Use advanced controls to fine-tune your results
Crop, resize, and rotate in real-time
Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun
Astoundingly fast, right in your browser
Awesome fonts and top-quality type tool
Basketfuls of shapes from hand-picked designers
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux
No download required, nothing to install.

Most of them uses Google Custom Search or google search strings to look for indexed pages with rapidshare links. However, there are a few sites such as LoadingVault that uses its own method to look for files in RapidShare. Some comes with lots of ads and some no ads at all. Some can only search for files in RapidShare and some can search up to 22 file sharing websites.

So go ahead and explore all 35 rapidshare search engine sites and let me know which is your favorite.
