A Little iPad Repair Luck, Domain-Name Style

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For those that know me, I have a bit of a domain name addiction. I think it reached its’ peak of insanity when I purchased the domain blake-is-the-new-sanjaya.com (true story) a few years back when Sanjaya was voted off ‘American Idol’ and hack Blake was deemed the next in line Howard Sterns’ goal to inspire enough people to vote a talentless dweeb to the top spot.

I’ve struggled to hold my personal obsession with URL’s back, but I think we got a bit lucky when, back in April 2009, we registered the iPad repair domain names ipad-repair.com and ipadrepair.com. Since we are going to be hard-core in the iPad repair business, having domain names that say what we do will be most helpful to Milliamp LTD:

New iPad Repair Domains

Two New iPad Repair Domain Names

For now, these two sites aren’t doing a whole heck of a lot for us, but they will eventually become a great resource for our future customers seeking iPad repairs and parts.

Now, who has any suggestions for helping us monitize our leet-inspired domain names for Twitter?

Have a great evening,

P.S. We had two GOLD iPhone backplate winners this week – one worker here at Milliamp LTD and one iPhone fanatic from Alaska. More details on this coming soon!

Are Twitter Names the Next Gold Rush?

Twitter Gold Rush of 2009

Twitter Gold Rush of 2009

Anyone that has tried to register a domain name knows that all the good names are taken (I personally own ‘theshortestfuckingdomainnamethatwasstillavailable.com’, but that is a story for another blog post).

Having a good domain name is important for brand recognition and simply helping people remember the name of your business. With the rise in popularity (which some would argue may be short-lived) of Twitter, people and companies alike are rushing to register on this social site.

We had the good fortune to locate a woman who had registered ‘milliamp’ on Twitter, but no longer used the account. Turns out, she picked the name after her dog, which is named milliampere (“half chichuachua, half poodle, all energy, low wattage”). Pretty clever name for a dog, if you ask me (apparently, her husband is an instrumentation controls engineer)!

It took some back and forth, but we were finally able to obtain access to the ‘milliamp’ twitter account, so keep an eye out from some sharp milliamp tweets real soon.
