Thinking of a new domain for Missing e. Any clever ideas?

tj:

cutlerish:

Unfortunately, the .ge top-level domain is only open to businesses that have representation in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Also, it costs between $100 and $300. So, the clever domain hack of missin.ge is out.

There’s always missing.me (because, you know, me == missing e…). I dunno, not that excited about that one. It is cheap, at least, because Montenegro needs our money.

Doing something like e.missi.ng would be even more insane at $50,000 per year. Nigerians are crazy. Not only do they need our money, they need all of it.

I could just register missinge.ca…. I love domain hacks, though. I actually had to give up on getting my personal site to be cutl.er because Eritrea apparently doesn’t have a well-developed Internet service infrastructure, let alone domain registrars (though, I’m reasonably happy with jeremy.cutler.is).

Seriously, I’m just jealous of tj’s site, luo.ma.

Figuring out that I could do that might be my favorite geek moment ever…

I figure if Morocco decides to add a local business requirement, I’ll just move there ;-)

I had my heart set on getting jam.ie, but Ireland requires residency and the site is already taken. I kicked around jamiekel.ly by Libyan domains are expensive and until recently support the Qaddafi regime, which seemed like a big price to pay for a domain hack.

  5. yodelmachine answered: I hate domain hacks. They’re impossible to remember. missing-e.ca with a .com alias is easy to remember.
  6. redcloud answered: “tumbleer.com” — with an extra “e’. But that’s probably just asking for more calls from Karp’s legal goons.

  8. brad-t answered: missinge.net seems to be the obvious answer. Domain hacks are overrated (and hard for a lot of people to remember).
