Why Generic Domain Names Are Valuable...

Sevenmile_laneDan Kimball sends this pic of the road sign for Seven Mile Lane.  Many different domain names have different meaning to different people and for different reasons.

There are lots of places called "Seven Mile" ..  but there is only one SevenMile.com..  and that name will be taking you here. I know this is obvious to most folks here..  but I had to use the picture.. so funny  :)

***FS*** Ha Ha.. I'm north of there Right now.. soon moving south though .. That's the Westin in front.. the Ritz is the big sand colored building (right) .. they make a great raspberry or mango Mojito at the beach bar at the Ritz. In fact I'm going to take a run over there for Sunset.

I've never thought of it that way. :)

Frank, it is one thing to own a generic but what steps can one take to generate funds to develop? (say one depleted their savings purchasing a nice generic).

Are you into funding ventures? *smirk* If so, when are you coming the the GTA? haha

This is one of the reasons Surnames are have value. The potential buyers/users are obvious and measurable.
