Default Breeding Bad Domain Names

Below is a link to a great post by John Andrews where he evaluates a number of bad domain names owned by young companies. Although not listed, I am sure there are similar domains out there owned by Indian companies.

My favourite from the list is:

Quote:
Tweegee- A hub for tweens, Tweegee offers the youth market a suite of online tools for social interaction and organization

Tweegee… I find that to be a very odd name choice. “twee” is okay, because “tween” is a reference to 11 and 12 year olds who live between childhood and teendom (don’t bother checking - Warner Bros owns teendom.com, and one of you domainers owns tweendom.com). But “weegee” is not a vocabulary word for teens or the more likely tweenie participant. Wedgie certainly is… at least for the boys, but I can’t see a clever way to work that in without things getting, well, ugly.
The rest of the article can be found here:
