What would you build? I am fighting my domain buying habit by putting this here instead of pulling out my credit card

Heh. You sound like me. I get too impulsive with my ideas sometimes.

If I had to choose between the two, reject.ly.

Curious to hear your idea :)

Seems like a good domain for a single-serving site, at least. Maybe a random selection of major accomplishment paired with someone who rejected it, like the N VCs who have passed on virtually every successful startup.

I've never really been into the "abuse of ccTLDs", especially not weirdly unstable countries like Libya. Although I do have a 3-letter Albanian domain.

At the very least, I'd only do something if I owned xxxx.ly and xxxxly.com like this pair.

(I accumulate a lot of domains -- it was totally worth becoming an OpenSRS reseller so I could manage all that stuff from one place. By pre-funding the account, it's less painful to make impulse buys (I have a commandline tool in my shell to do it, and grab the .com/.net/.org, and hyphenated variants.)

I agree, if you are going to operate a .ly domain (I do) then you better have backup .com in the case that it goes away

On second thought, I don't like either domain. You can come up with better.

Well, I'm already building refer.ly

We were talking about it, it just seemed too negative in general to build a brand around that we could really believe in. But its funny...
