name? your price

Last night the discussion of where to watch TV show online came up and naturally YouTube was the first name mentioned along with the usual sites named after the network that airs them or the show name it self. When we got around to hulu, it was asked, "does that name stand for anything," to which most people were of the opinion that no it did not, it was just catchy, somewhat memorable (or memorable after all the TV commercials staring NBCs Alec Baldwin and FOXs Seth MacFarlane) and more than likely, available. I have read recently that Flickr originally wanted to include the 'e' in their name but that domain name was already taken and not for sale.

So how do you go about getting a company domain name if you are starting up a new website? Well, you can brainstorm all you want and try the obvious i-something or x-something but those have more or less been played out by now, as have the missing vowel names. Maybe seek professional help to get that name that will be the next website that is on everybody's lips. You hire professionals for other specific tasks, right? Why not this one?
