It’s not often that I forward email jokes, and even less frequently that I’ve found something worth blogging about. In fact, as far as I remember, of all the forwarded emails and jokes I get, only the “Amazing Quarters<\/a>” video\u00a0 ever made it to my blog, aside from a few email scam warnings.<\/p>\n

This one takes the cake though, (sent to me by Justin at Weberz hosting)<\/a> and it’s particularly blogworthy for me,\u00a0 because it also provides a valuable lesson to those seeking to start an online business….<\/p>\n

It’s nice have to have a catchy domain name, but it’s also important to ask someone else what they think before you build your business.<\/p>\n

Here’s are 10 business domain names that likely could have used a few more opinions around the lunch table before launch…<\/p>\n

1. A site called ‘Who Represents ‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 wait for it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 is
\nwww.whorepresents.com<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where
\nprogrammers can exchange advice and views at
\nwww.expertsexchange.com<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
\nwww.penisland.net<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
\nwww.therapistfinder.com<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6
\nwww.powergenitalia.com<\/a><\/p>\n

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
\nwww.molestationnursery.com<\/a><\/p>\n

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
\nwww.ipanywhere.com<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church Their website is
\nwww.cummingfirst.com<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
\nwww.speedofart.com<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe ? Try their brochure website at
\nwww.gotahoe.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
