The Deal between Bing and Twitter

Now, there were reports that Twitter is now opening its doors to Bing. But unfortunately, it won't work out.

Here's why:
According to All Things Digital, "The pair [Bing & Twitter] is still far apart on a number of issues, including the price and term of the data licensing, the way the tweets and advertising linked to it will be presented on Bing, the cut of that advertising, and even how much traffic Bing pushes back to Twitter."

Choosing Domain Names

On your website, the domain name should be given great importance. It is the identity of your website. Without it, your site is nothing. And just like with business outside the internet, it should be created or chosen with care or intense study. It shouldn't be just picked by basing on random circumstances. It should be be based on a plan or strategy.

Your domain must be something that is easy to remember. And when we thinks, we must be thinking of something short. You are allowed to register a domain name of up to 63 characters, but if it is that long, people might not be able to remember it. It should also be catchy and easy to speak, even by younger kids. Right spelling is not necessary here, just keep it easy to write or spell. If it appears to be funny, the better.

In choosing domain names, characters to be used are limited to letters, number and dashes. Spaces and symbols are not allowed. It can come as .com, .net, or .info.

Once you find the right domain name, you can register it on a global domain name registration. Register.com is one of the well know domain name registration site. Their service is more than just registering your internet business, it will also give you a range of suggestion of what name you should go for, or if your chosen name is already existing.

You can test if your chosen name is effective by telling it to your friends or clients. If they remember it, then you should go for it.
