Heres a thought FWIW...As you know, a short simple .com domain name is impossible to get.
NBC Channel 5 here in DFW has given me an idea! Apparently when Channel 5 attempted to get their domain name, NBC5.com was gone, so some foreword thinking net guru there simply added an i to the NBC5. So now NBC5i.com is their address on the net. It is easy to say and simple.
I have bought a few simple and easy to remember names like Channel 5 has done just by adding the i after the word.
As an example, I bought PICTURESi.com and MYPICTURESi.com
The i can simply stand for Internet. MyPictures i(internet).com!!! Easy to say and easy for someone else to remember!
Try it! Perhaps for example... WEDDINGPICTURESi.com. Thats available at the moment!
Some of the simple words with a trailing i are gone. But a lot aren't.

I don't know if the 'i' thing is just a phase or some evolutionary step towards the next great single letter before a name haha. That reminds me...why did Apple call their mp3 player a pod? That part never made sense to me. Anyway...
