I saw in your "Moi" page a great emphasis on the domain name. I agree with you. I think domain names are the crystallization of an idea, a message. On the other hand, I see a lot of people from startup bubbles in X making fun of domain registration, suggesting that it is a "low bar" activity and doesn't represent any effort toward building a product. I disagree with this point of view. To me, the name is bound to the vision of a product being used by its customers. I cannot imagine something being used without a name or ID. I believe good names tell a story.

great .com domain names were the cheat-code I was blindly searching for. The unfair advantage they present allowed me to compete head-to-head with larger entities. I still play in these waters.
