Find a good domain name is getting harder and harder. I found out a thread in HN from 3 years ago and I think is relevant and could be useful to a lot of people, myself included.
Funny. I used "Emp" as one of my son's online nicknames at one point and briefly I ran a list called "wired for science", about/for kids with brainwiring like my sons have, kids who are also kind of "live wires". I have no idea what I would do with "empwire" but that's what I thought of when I saw the name.
bookcrime.com - Was going to be a place where students could cut out the middle man and sell textbooks to each other (sub-domains for specific campuses for face to face transactions), lost interest in that, but I still really like the domain name.
getelected.org - Idea is for a wiki-style resource for regular people to get involved/elected in their local governments.
.
I had to let a few others expire that I lost interest in. At least one of them has been picked up by an established non-profit that redirects to their main site.
foobarnation.com - planned to be an ecommerce for geek apparels. a nation of foo bars, innit?
loladoku.com - wanted to build something like mint.com.
bangbingbong.com - supposedly like twitter, but more anonymous.
joompa.me - social networking. i'm planning to repurpose this domain for my dating website.
achievery.com - haven't thought for the idea. bought it because it sounds cool.
animalystique.com - planned for a chinese horoscope app, but apparently the name is too long. i let this expire. mentioned here in case somebody find the name interesting.
obviously none of them manifests, otherwise i wouldn't put them here.
