As cool as chuchichaeschtli.com may be — the usability sucks. I know readers who surf to other blogs where the domain is in the blogroll, just to avoid typing in this horrible word.
Recently, I registered two new domain names:
#1: remolus.com (inspired by Simonius and the Romulus and Remus story; note: Remo origins from Remus)
#2: remo.fm — Remo’s channel
(plus I registered remo.in and remo.ag, in case I want to go international or incorporate an “Ich AG” :-).
To be honest, I already made up my mind. I have a bad gut feeling about remolus.com (plus the L looks sucky and could be read as an “i”) and I really fell in love with remo.fm (its short, its my name and it represents my own broadcasting channel — its perfect :-). But hey, you’re the readers, so your opinion is important, too. Please take this poll and let me know what you think:
PS: I’m aware of point 12 of Scoble’s Weblog Manifesto “Never change the URL of your weblog”, but I will do EVERYTHING necessary to make the change as smooth as possible. I will use proper 301 redirects for EVERY posting and of course I’ll keep chuchichaeschtli.com until the end of the world.
