Numbers that Work Make the Phone Ring

Fox News by the Numbers Misses April Fools Prank

A equivalent of a hamster lap dance fell into oblivion as Fox email screeners missed out on a Kilmeade vs Doocey Fox News April Fools Prank. It took some thought to understand so must have been passed up. Too bad...

It was a spoof setup to pit Brian Kilmeade against Steve Doocey. It showed that Brian had Steve's number ( the domain 64783742779.info that loads an appropriate website to honor Mr. Happy) At the time the domain 64783742779.info loaded up 'The Hamster Dance."

A technical April Fools Joke, it consummated the ultimate April Fools Day prank on Brian's buddy Steve. 

Fox & Friends missed it but you can still enjoy a hamster dance:

Numbers That Work has been re-branded as Crossover Domains
Featuring AAA Business naming strategies in an internet world:

Internet Business Naming Tips

As the About.com, Women in Business article below suggests,the internet killed AA Naming strategies with keyword domain names and the dismissal of a "Alphabetical 1st seen gets the call" marketing plans.

But everyone knows things change and competition breeds innovation; especially in the internet age. Eventually someone conquered the internet dead-end for phone centric businesses.

2 Things Happened to Enable Web to Phone Crossover Marketing

1. Paper phone books transitioned to the web and brought alphabetical ordering along.
2. Crossover Domains invented a clever solution that leverages integrated marketing for web, phone and branding.

One Combo Domain/Business Name Delivers 5 Marketing Features
Internet Bundled Marketing Offers

• A keyword combo business name
• A domain name that looks like a phone number
•   Brands your business as a business that answers the phone! 
• Phone list alphabetical priority that tops AAA Competition
•   Outperforms AAA Business Naming Strategies by 3 Times in the phone book

Phone Book Exposure
Our 1-Pizza.com name vs. Pizza Competitors

AA naming does work, but to leverage Business Names on the web & the phone book, AA Naming needs to wrap up industry keywords like "Pet" as phone numbers; the domain becomes the brand.

• 1-Pet.com
• 1-Vet.com
• 1-Pizza.com
• 1-Lock.com

About.com: Women in Business 8 Tips for Naming a Business

Tip 7: Forget Names Using AAA To Get More Attention (It Does Not Work)

Before the Internet consumers turned to paper telephone directories to find information. Many business owners began their company's name with the letters "AAA" to be one of the first listings in a telephone directory category. Today's consumers are more likely to use the Internet to find a product or service and using three A's at the beginning of your name will not help. Search queries are not returned alphabetically but by relevance and how well your website, blog, or listing has been indexed. Tip: To get your business to show up in a search engine query you need to use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques when building your website or blog.

The AAA Business Naming Strategy Defined

 

...and how did AAA Naming  get started?

Years ago someone noticed  that the first ad seen in the phone book gets proportionally more phone calls. This quirk in human nature evolved to a business naming strategy that involves crafting a name, beginning with the letter "A" so that it was the 1st name people saw in the phone book.

 

Next, AA and AAA Prefixes were prefixed to keywords like towing; AAA Towing etc. to claim top position over business names that began with just one A .

 

Then came the internet and the AAA Naming strategy was given up for dead. The green movement made phone books an environmental nightmare and pundits proclaimed phone marketing was dead.

 

Many tried prefixing AA and AAA Prefixes  to keywords but search engines dismissed and rejected any inherent priority.  With zero marketing reach, AAA naming schemes failed on the web and no abstract advantage was gained  in business or aftermarket domain name value.

 

Internet Twist

Generic keyword domain names were rewarded by search engines with top placement and created a new niche of success for those with the foresight to acquire these names. But link popularity can be gamed (internet cat and mouse, my website is invisible, internet search alimony) and mumbo-jumbo keywords fall flat in real world implementation as business names or as a brand.

 

Additionally no one saw 'phone lists' moving to the web and not everyone can make a buying decision from web presentations. Human interaction is still required to close sales by phone and many industries do so because it's more efficient. Who would have guessed that people still prefer to call on a phone to buy Pizzas, order mobile lock services, limos, and a taxis.

 

How to craft a business name that leverages internet and phone marketing?

 There is no fair equivalent  on the web for AAA Business Naming and it was thought that there was no way to accent a phone centric business nature on the web. Worse yet, no marketing link existed to get from the web to phone marketing and back.

 

With no method of transition, the Digital Divide between Phone & Web Centric Business Models increases and until now, no one has offered a link between phone and web marketing.

 

Flying in the face of Business and Marketing 101.

• Competitors can out-spend the keyword.com owner by feeding the search engine monsters and paying ever increasing alimony to stay on top.
• Keywords can't generally be used as business names or legally protected.
• Keyword domain names invite competition from other domain name extensions.
• Mumbo jumbo keyword domains are easily forgotten and don't make good business names.
• Marketing angst remains for the ones in an industry where the competitor owns the primary keyword domain name.

Phone Centric Business Models Orphaned by the Web

No is no viable connection for phone centric businesses with established claims in their industries to the internet. Until now...

 

Crossover Names Offer A Link to the Marketing Future

Phone listings are moving to the web and bring alphabetical priorities back to the web. Consumers know how the alphabet works and numbers are expected before letters. Anything less diminishes the user experience.

 

Value

Internet pundits and domain appraisers choose to ignore and dismiss 1-keyword.com names.They can't appreciate the intensity of phone driven industries like pizza, mobile lock services, limos, and taxis or the angst caused by overloaded keyword dominance resulting in stupid dead-end parked pages that lead to no-where or away from them.

 

Just because the niche is as yet unnoticed doesn't mean  the inherent abstract after-market  value can be dismissed or ignored. A Crossover business name can reach this segment of phone centric businesses that close sales by phone for a few industries. We're not saying this is for all industries or businesses but  a Crossover Name makes sense for some and will only increase in value as competition drives value for short memorable names that are easily branded and have built-in abstract value.

 

Crossover Combo Business , Domain Names and Brands bridge the gap between the phone and the web to make the phone ring.

 

"Thinks outside the pizza box."

Web centric vs. Phone Centric Sales Battle Rages On

Electronic versions of phone books replace paper versions and as phone books transition to the web the alphabet goes with them...

AAA Business Naming strategies can be leveraged on the web

• stop gap for the 'seo bleeding' that occurs in the 'my website is invisible'
• or the 'angst era' when a competitor acquires your industry keyword domain name
• or the reality that keyword dotcom domain names invite competition through their un-protectable .us, .net, .biz extensions

See why Crossover Business names as domain names fill long-term Business and Marketing 101 requirements that will even make attorneys smile.

• Protectable business name
• Web savvy,  keyword rich, dotcom domain name
• A name that makes the phone ring

She could back a more cunning, slyer Vixen version of news combined with 1-Rant.com, the perfect website for a Talk Show that wants people to call and RANT.

Ann Coulter would be the ideal end user.

1-Hope.com Teaser

Religious domains
If there was a website that offered hope and wanted people to call, the domain name 1-Hope.com would be ideal.

Obama Supporters

If the President Obama administration really wanted to listen they could use this domain name to attract input or offer support as America waits for stimulus.

Obama Detractors

Of course Obama detractors may want to acquire this domain name before a religious group uses 1-Hope.com for an out-reach site with an easy to remember name that invites people to call. Or God forbid Obama detractors using 1-Hope.com as a platform displaying every failure of the anointed one's administration...

    Branding vs Branding vs Domainer
    Morning Folks!!

    What if I told you that this single post can make you a millionaire many times over? Well it will if you read carefully and fully get your head around this simple message. That's exactly what can happen. I have made a lot of posts in my time, but none are more important than the
    one you are about to read. So close the door and give me a focused 10 minutes
    and I think I can share something that will make your journey just a little
    sweeter and more rewarding.  To me
    it is the difference between a domain being worth $750 and $750,000 or $7.5M.
    The domain can be the same but the customers needs is different. Tapping into
    THAT need is the key. So if you focus on selling domains that is exactly what
    you will do. You will do what everyone else does. Buy for $100 and sell for
    $200. Sell for $300, Sell for $500. But how do you buy for $100 and sell for
    $1M?

    I heard the following phrase when I was 19 years old and it probably took
    me about 15 years to finally figure out what the hell it really meant. "When you see John Jones thru John Jones eyes, you will sell John
    Jones what John Jones buys." That is the first principle. This is the most
    important one as well. But this is only an add on to the purpose of this post.
    Just a bonus to make it more understandable.

    So how do you put this in effect? You have to look at an end user thru an
    end users eyes. At TRAFFIC in late September, Brad Geisen did exactly
    that. As an end user he shared his John Jones story of obtaining
    foreclosure.com and Property.com. He originally was the guy on the
    other side of the email telling folks they were crazy to ask $5000 for
    something they registered for $7. We all know the type. Well here is
    how this guy evolved from a mindset like that to paying tens of
    millions for a domain name.

    When you see the end user thru the end users eyes, you
    will sell the end user the domain he buys. So the story starts. It's so damn
    simple! It's so natural. It's untapped because until now it was difficult to
    articulate in a simple form WHY they would want the category killer domain. It took an end user to explain it and that is what he did.

8 Tactical Reasons To Use Mini Campaign Websites

We couldn't agree more with the Site Reference article and our 8 Tactical Reasons to use Mini Campaign Websites are right here:

| 1-Pizza.mobi | 1-Pizza.us | 1-Pizza.net |1-74992.com Pizza by Numb3rs | 1-74992.mobi | 1-Pizza.ws |1-Pizza.biz | 1-Pizza.info |

They are being developed to support 1-Pizza.com the main portal to our Pizza websites.

Our Vision was to offer a way to compete with the advantage Search Engines give to the industry keyword domain. 1-Pizza.com and the 8 other members of the 1-Pizza Family of domain names is our primary example. There are others but Pizza is the hottest topic in the domain world today.

Mini Campaign Websites and Alternative Marketing Websites are an effective method of enhancing your marketing efforts and targeting optional audiences you would never have otherwise reached using your traditional sales marketing approach. Source: Site Reference 

Marketing and Memorability:

• Non-sense domain names annoy people
• Short domains are easier to remember
• Mobile people will remember domain names that look like phone numbers
  • 1-Pizza

1-Pizza Target Market
Our goal is to attain a top 10 Search Result in Google so that we can reach our target market to sell our domain names and websites to one of the Top Ten Pizza Companies listed in a Google Search Result or a company that wants to be there.We offer a 2% Finders Fee to gain visibility and realize only an insider will have the leverage to approach a buyer unless we crack the top 100 results in the SEO derby.

Challenges
Site development is beyond most businesses budget and capabilities but we started developing our 9 pizza websites in mid-July and it will take a while to get noticed. SEO is a crapshoot yet it is interesting to see the progress we've already made in certain areas as we challenge a very competitive pizza market.

Point by Point Comments to the article:
1. ...Forcing visitors to sift through reams of material only creates frustration and irritation,

Catch 22, unless one presents 'reams of material' as fresh content you will remain invisible to search engines. Search engines are 'doing evil' and Babylizing the web.

4. ...create new markets for old products and services. The marketplace is often more innovative than the marketer in finding new ways to use old products; ways the manufacturer never realized existed.

Competitive Innovation:
Tradename protection is a benefit of all domains except 'generic' domain names and we believe we can compete against pizza.com with our 9 vs. 1 approach. 

If not why do we need anything besides a dot com domain extension outside the industry keyword domain? 

Disadvantage:
Because generic words can't be protected, the owner of pizza.com will need to acquire all the other extensions from their respective owners on the free market to compete against our nine 1-Pizza websites.

5.  ...target specific audiences with specific tactics

Mobile, mobile, mobile... "looks like a phone number" is a marketing hook protected by tradename and a digital space that can not be occupied or claimed by anyone else.

7. ...Viral

In a convoluted world where an insurance company can successfully hijack the word 'auto' in a phone number translation, 1-74992.com and 1-74992.mobi (spells 'pizza' on a keypad)

Vision
We saw the world going mobile,
We saw a marketing vulnerability in industry keyword domains,
We adapted to the rules,
We applied innovation.

We asked everyone to "Think outside the pizza.com box."

...tough to do when stuck in the box.

How many websites should your company have?

by Jerry Bader

That's a question that comes up often in discussions with clients, but perhaps the idea never crossed your mind. Why would any company need more than one website? Not to be glib but the answer is as many as you need, but how many is that?

If you're a large corporation it is fairly obvious that you need a separate site for each brand you offer, and a separate site for corporate background material and perhaps investor information.

But what if you're a small or medium-sized company with a limited number of products or services? Then the question becomes, do your products relate to one another? Does one item flow into the next? Is your audience for each product or service the same? And what about totally different audiences for the same product: audiences that need to be approached with totally different tactics? And then there are special circumstances like new product launches, time sensitive marketing campaigns, and limited availability offers?

Mini Campaign Websites and Alternative Marketing Websites are an effective method of enhancing your marketing efforts and targeting optional audiences you would never have otherwise reached using your traditional sales marketing approach.

Hyphens in Domains & Domain After-market Value

Domain value increases if a hyphen adds value for the user.

Consider
Germans value hyphens in domain names because it makes it easier for a human to interpret. Chinese value hyphens in domain names for the same reason. Because a period isn't treated as a text character, a period doesn't work as a separator in a domain name.

• The Mobile Market is the 'Next Sales frontier' for the internet as we move to mobile devices.
• If a domain name looks like a phone number, it will be remembered easier by mobile people using mobile devices.

Looking Forward: Marketing to Mobile Surfers?
Advantages for a domain that looks like a phone number:

• Hello! - the domain looks like a phone number!
  
  • A Hypenated Domain can create memorability for mobile surfers
• Novel, trendy and unique

Competitive Advantage
All the above plus:
Captures the #2 Spot to keyword competition

• Like Avis did to Hertz in the rental car business
  • Avis claimed they were #2
  • Claimed the rental car market only had 2 players
  • In one stroke of genius eliminated all other competitors

The Elephant in the Room...
Yup, it's 'make my day keyword' Google. Owning the industry keyword domain makes the owner 'king' of their market segment.

The elephant defines the 'pizza' box that traps the competition in a ranking or search placement.

Escape the pizza.com box by 'Thinking outside that pizza box...'

Pizza Industry Example:
This is the challenge faced in the online pizza business if a top 10 Pizza Company didn't buy pizza.com or pizza.net. All other Pizza Companies get squashed by the keyword elephant...

The best solution is purchasing 1-Pizza.com because it looks like a phone number, makes sense to humans and is a viable marketing solution for a mobile internet pizza sales website.

1-Pizza.com can hold the #2 spot on Google for pizza sales and has the potential to 'rock and roll' future mobile pizza sales.

...potential to rock and roll future mobile pizza sales!

Press Release - Pizza Domain War 1-Pizza.com vs. Pizza.net

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

TITLE: "Thinking Outside the Pizza.com Box"

SUBTITLE: 1-Pizza.com vs. Pizza.net

Littleton, Colorado May 1, 2008

 

Innovative marketing yields a challenge to Domainers, the Pizza Industry and Investors with the offering of 1-Pizza.com, a 1-Dash Domain from Numbers That Work. No one should be surprised that someone came up with a solution to the short supply of usable and pronounceable dot com domain names. The fact that 1-Dash Domains look like phone numbers, gives them a built-in 'memorability hook' to mobile surfers.

 

If it looks like a phone number and walks like a domain, it Quacks, "Mobile, Mobile, Mobile!!"

 

April 2008 - Pizza is Hot in Domain News

The ground-work for choosing 1-Pizza.com as the initial offering and subsequent marketing campaign for Numbers That Work came in April as the domain name Pizza.com sold for $2.6M and Pizza.net sold for $1.1M

The Crust Thickens…

As Pizza Companies face increased online competition if they didn't buy pizza.com or pizza.net few options remain with brutal internet competition ruling keyword navigation to websites. Numbers That Work announces a solution using the 1-Dash Naming Convention that places a 1 and a hyphen in front of a keyword which effectively doubles the available usable keyword domain name supply.

 

Companies can now compete with the owners of 'pure' keyword domains because a 1-Dash Domain carries a 'marketing hook' to mobility because 1-Dash Domains look like phone numbers.

1-Pizza.com is a good option to beat Pizza.net in Search Engine Placement

1-Pizza.com looks like a phone number, makes sense to humans and is a viable marketing solution for a mobile internet pizza sales website. With the proper ingredients (web marketing and development) 1-Pizza.com can solidify it's place against Pizza.com as Avis did to Hertz in the Rental Car Business by claiming itself as #2.

 

Building a New Website is Un-necessary

1-Pizza.com can be used as a user friendly shortcut to an existing website. It's shorter than MamaCiancibelliHotSpicyPizzeria.com and visitors will appreciate that it's easy to type and remember.

Thinking Outside the Pizza.com - "Pizza Box"

Pizza.com - Direct Navigation
Pizza.com is one of the best examples of Direct Navigation for marketing to desktop surfers available. The $2.6M sale is breath-taking.

Catastrophic Oversight as it Relates to Domain Names
Every business endeavor should include a review for catastrophic oversight. Overlooking key information from any source can lead to failure. As desk bound surfers go mobile there is a disconnect to bookmarks and thinking.

"Sorry, I just can't remember that long nasty to type website..."
    MamaCiancibelliHotSpicyPizzeria.com => right!

Mobile Pizza Marketing Oversight
The entire pizza industry has overlooked mobile pizza marketing by a new innovative domain naming convention called 1-Dash Domains.

There are 4 domain names that specifically, un-equivocally target mobile pizza sales.

The Solution is 1-Dash Domains because they look like Phone Numbers

1-Pizza.com   
1-Pizza.mobi   
1-74992.com    (74992 spells Pizza on a phone keypad)
1-74992.mobi

The 1- mimics a phone number so it's a great memory trigger for people using a phone to connect to the web.

It's So Obvious a Sixth Grader Can See it
Every one of these 1-Dash domains is shorter than the companies names listed in our search for pizza and shorter than most of the domains listed for sale at TDNAM containing the word pizza.

1-Pizza.com   
1-Pizza.mobi   
1-74992.com    (74992 spells Pizza on a phone keypad)
1-74992.mobi

Hello! All of these domains have marketing 'BLING' and make sense to consumers.
All the domains are short and easy to remember.

Marketing Solution Hidden in Plain Sight!!
The domain industry hasn't noticed Numbers That Work either (1-Dash Domains parent company) but consumers will; they can't help it. Once 1-Dash is explained (1-Dash puts a 1- in a domain name to make it look like a phone number) the association to a phone number and mobility can't be ignored; especially with a phone in hand.

Pizza.com - Direct Navigation
Pizza.com is one of the best examples of Direct Navigation for marketing to desktop surfers available. The $2.6M sale is breath-taking.

Pizza.net - Defensive Registration
Pizza.net has a bid of $500k with 3 days to go at TDNAM. Currently there are 326 domains for sale with the word 'pizza' in them. Most are long and nonsensical, aimed at attracting key-word searches and at last check, no bids were evident.

Did one of these 5 companies buy Pizza.com
The buyer of pizza.com has not been revealed yet so maybe it's one of these 5 Pizza Companies listed on Google:

• Pizza Hut
• Pappa John's
• Domino's
• Giordano's
• Round Table Pizza

So four of these pizza companies will give up?
        Ya, right.

April Fools on Fox and Friends Steve Doocy by Brian Kilmeade

Brian, says he has Steve Doocy's Number?

He Does!

The number is: 64783742779 and that 'spells' Mister Happy on a phone keypad.

Brian planned and executed the perfect April Fool in 2008 on Steve Doocy (Mister Happy) his co-hort on Fox and Friends, by utilizing a 'Numbers That Work' domain 64783742779.info that loads an appropriate website to honor Mr. Happy.

The domain 64783742779.info is being used as a forwarder to another site to consummate the ultimate April Fools Day prank on his buddy Steve.

Of course Brian Kilmeade denies it now...

We see Google hid an 'Easter Egg' in plain site since they registered 466453.com in the year 2000

PC World missed this one and we think a few other people did too... (we know others reported it, we mention it again because it's so cool)

466453.com was hidden in plain sight among Google's 500 Domains.

On Easter our article explained that the number '466453' in 466453.com spells 'Google' on a phone keypad and that makes it a 'Number That Works!' (We know we're not the first)

Google is using 466453.com as a pointer or alias to google.com

Google's growing list of domains

Have you ever wondered how many domain names Google owns? Currently Google owns 520 domain names. Their domain collection has been growing over the last couple years because of all of the companies they started and have bought. Some of these domain names are not in Google's name, but in the company's name that they purchased. If you see any domains missing or inaccuracies, feel free and leave a comment.

Domain Pointers and Aliases from 1-Dash Lead to Sales

Long domain names hinder users

• Hard to remember
• Too long to type
• Naming doesn't make sense

Google Mobile at http://www.google.com/mobile/ is an example of a long nasty URL that really sends a message to mobile surfers that the site is an after-thought,

"Oh, by the way. We have a mobile website for you but the best we can do is add it on to our current domain name. Happy typing!"

With the competition for search results, search providers will catch on to this eventually. Maybe someone that reads this can give them a head's up? We're positive the domains we have for sale in our Search Group of domains made up of common words people think about when searching, will not be sold for anywhere close to $44 million...

Numbers That Work has the solution!

Implement a Domain Alias (Search Company)
Using our domains with the common search term: Ask             
1-ask.com      
1-ask.mobi    
1-275.com     (275 spells Ask on a phone keypad) (Cool huh?)
1-275.mobi

Google Example:

Point 1-ask.com and 1-275.com   to: http://www.google.com

and

Point 1-ask.mobi and 1-275.mobi to: http://www.google.com/mobile/

Why a Domain Alias?
Multiple domains can be used to 'point' to a companies main website.
This is done by setting the domain nameservers or by forwarding a domain.

Alias Defined:
After a domain is setup to 'point' somewhere, it is referred to as an alias.

Domain Pointer Examples:

Numbers That Work
numbersthatwork.com points to http://http://numbersthatwork.typepad.com
1-Dash.com points to http://numbersthatwork.typepad.com/1dash

Direct Navigation Domains

Direct navigation - Wikipedia

Wikipedia could add 1-Dash and 1-Dial Domains to their definition of direct navigation because from a marketing standpoint, it precedes typing by placing the link in the surfer's head.

Marketing doesn't get any better than that and after all, they defined direct navigation as a loosely defined term...

Link: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Direct navigation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

Direct navigation is a marketing term that describes the method individuals use to navigate the Internet in order to arrive at specific websites. Direct navigation is a new, loosely defined term which is generally understood to include type-in traffic and bookmarked traffic. This involves an internet user navigating to a website directly through the website address bar, bypassing any online search engines and navigating directly to the domain.

A 2005 study of internet traffic revealed that direct navigation traffic such as browser type-in traffic, bookmarks of existing sites and visits to existing, known website domain names converts into sales for advertisers at 4.23% of total visits compared to 2.3% for product and service related searches performed via the search box at search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

Pizza Anyone?

A 'prime example' our naming convention in action targets mobile pizza customers with 4 domain names that use our 1-Dial and 1-Dash Domain naming convention.

Domains That Look Like Phone Numbers Target Mobile Pizza Sales 

1-Pizza.com   
1-Pizza.mobi   
1-74992.com    (74992 spells Pizza on a phone keypad)
1-74992.mobi

The 1- mimics a phone number so it's a great memory trigger for people using a phone to connect to the web.

Using a combination of common words and common sense, 1-Dial and 1-Dash domains will become the definitive 'direct navigation' connection to mobile surfers.

 

Google; AT&T shocked by iPhone usage

Shocked... We're not!!
Maybe surprised they didn't realize the pent-up demand for 'all-you-can-eat' data plans.
Doh!

Death of land-lines
But here's a real shocker, AT&T was equally oblivious to the fact that the death of the land-line was caused by the disconnect of phone features from phone to phone (especially speed-dial) and the nickel and dime ransom for features.

Vonage says it well with their TV ads... 'What have you done for 100 years? Answer: Raise prices.

Mobile Disconnect Solved by 1-Dash and 1-Dial Domains
Mobile users feel the disconnect from their PCs and land-line phones because of the loss of bookmarks and speed dial. 1-Dash and 1-Dial Domain offer ease of use and a memory hook for marketeers wishing to reach mobile surfers.

"Google searches from my iPhone are high because Apple makes it so damned easy."

Yes, and our 1-Dash & 1-Dial Domains are even better because it eliminates the search step altogether!

Link: The Apple Core | ZDNet.com

February 15th, 2008 -- Posted by Jason D. O'Grady @ 5:57 am

Search titan Google and mobile phone carrier AT&T have been stunned by iPhone users usage patterns according to reports in recent days.

AppleInsider reports that Google has seen 50 times more search requests
coming from Apple iPhones than any other mobile handset. They were so
shocked, in fact, that they suspected that they had made an error
tabulating their data.

According to the Financial Times Vic Gundotra, head of Google’s mobile operations, said that if other handset manufacturers follow in Apple’s footsteps and make Web access easier on their handsets the number of mobile searches could outpace fixed internet search “within the next several years.”

I know that my Google searches from my iPhone are high because Apple makes it so damned easy.

The Google search bar pops up right below (and as large as) the URL field. Why guess at a URL when Google is right there? I know lots of people that don’t even try URLs any more, they just Google everything – even domain names!

Is the address bar doomed?
In related news René Obermann, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG, says iPhone is driving up average wireless data usage as much as 30 times higher than on other phones. The average Internet usage for an iPhone customer is more than 100 MBytes. Which is 30 times the use for their average contract-based consumer.AT&T’s announcement of new business and international roaming plans and their replacement of T-Mobile as the Wifi provider at 7,000 U.S. company-owned Starbucks stores nationwide should only accelerate data usage in the months to come.A quick peek at my last two months iPhone data usage shows that I used 110MB in February and 169MB in January. You’ve gotta love those domestic unlimited data plans!

New legislation for telemarketers: Do Not Call. Ever.

Of course we like our idea better; Don't give anyone a real number until you trust them.

So we use: 366-822-5563

And because '3668225563' translates to 'Don’t Call Me' on a phone keypad http://www.3668225563.com is a 'Number that Works' Domain.

This may be the greatest privacy tool ever invented if we say so ourselves...

What's your phone number?
Answer: 3668225563

Link: Arstechnica

By Jacqui Cheng | Published: December 18, 2007 - 12:40PM CT     

Ever since the launch of the National Do Not Call registry, the American dinner hour has been quieter. Well, mostly. There have been a few violators here, but overall, the level of telemarketing calls has gone down significantly in recent years thanks to the registry. Both the House and Senate have passed bills this month meant to improve upon it, ensuring that the majority of your spam stays off your phone line (and remains in your inbox).

The first of the bills, the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 (S 2096), was recently

passed by the Senate, and a nearly identical version (HR 3541) was passed by the House earlier this month. As the registry functions today, users must re-register their phone numbers every five years if they want to remain on the list, but the bills change that by eliminating the automatic removal of phone numbers after a certain period of time. Now, registrants will remain on the do-not-call list indefinitely until they request to be removed, or if the number becomes no longer valid, becomes disconnected, or gets reassigned. According to the bill, the FTC can check phone numbers periodically for this, and may remove them from the list if they no longer belong to the person who registered them.

Example 3 - Format The Word 'Pizza' as a 1-Dash Domain

The best way to explain a '1-Dash Domain' is to work through it:

1-Dash uses common words like 'Pizza' that becomes 1-Pizza.com and look like a phone numbers.

'Pizza' becomes 1-Pizza.com  

Wow, It looks like a 'Hello Mobile Users Welcome Mat!!'

Step 1

The common word "Pizza" was registered as:

1-Pizza.com => http://www.1-Pizza.com

1-Pizza.mobi => http://www.1-Pizza.mobi

Step 2
We added the 'Privacy' option for security and Anti-SPAM reasons.
We parked the domains (it's automatic) until we decide to build websites for them.

1-Pizza.com => http://www.1-Pizza.com

1-Pizza.mobi => http://www.1-Pizza.mobi

We also registered their 1-Dial cousins:
1-74992.com => http://www.1-74992.com

1-74992.mobi => http://www.1-74992.mobi
