We are closing in on the end of our final's period at UCLA and I am so excited to go back home for almost a month!! I won't taking much of a break though since I want to get a big chunk of the alpha version of this website up...More updates to come soon!!
Also, why do all the good website names for our product seem to be taken?? FriendLend.com, Friendlend.org and other cool names that I've thought of all are taken...
I've done some research on this and it actually takes quite a bit of luck, money, and time to get domains that are registered but not really in use. Some people/domain sites apparently buy all the common ones real early and sell them for HUGE gains. GoDaddy has a domain buy service where you have to pay an agent to be the middleman. The agent makes offers to the website owner, but there is no guarantee that the owner will even answer the agent or agree to sell their website. By the way, the domain buy service costs $70 with no guarantee...Also, I've heard that some people sell their popular websites up to $3000+ that is just ridiculous!!
I guess we'll have to come up with some creative/cool sounding name and build the brand up!!
Oh wow....even all the possibilities I thought of using the .me and .ly domains are all taken...This is really ridiculous. They should have a maximum amount of domains a person or organization can hold at once...
