Oh so many domains... - 12-21-2004, 12:48 PM


hehe

i know whatcha thinking... why are there so many domain names that point to this forum...

i have like 6 now i think

abellongoria.com (original site locale)
lifeatf8.com (my main site)
houstonphotogs.com
dallasphotogs.com
austinphotogs.com
sanantphotogs.com

hehe

well i had orignally made one for HoustonPhotogs.com and thought it would be awesome to have a place where us local houston peeps can come and share info on events and locales.

then i thought id like that same info for austin, san ant and dallas so i registered those names as well since TexasPhotogs.com was already taken. that was the domain i REALLY wanted to use but oh well. ill make do with what i have...

i like having the city specific names available so that you guys can spread the word locally and attract more people. instead of someone in austin telling a friend to go to HoustonPhotogs.com . hehe that just sounds bad... :)

how about

TexasPhotoForum.com

or

TexasPhotog.com

any takers?? i think a more general name needs to be used instead of houston or sanant etc since it looks like we have a much wider base. plus to it will be easier to recruit i think if we had a single domain name...

whatcha think?

"TexasPhotoForum" has a real smooth sounding flow to it.....Or, as a variant; "TexasFotoForum" (TFF)
