Web 2.0 Product and Domain-Naming -- from 1877

July 12, 2007

Erik Dafforn

I came across a perspective-offering gem today while listening to the Writer's Almanac (Real Audio version).

George Eastman

It's the birthday of the man who gave us the Kodak camera, George Eastman, born in Waterville, New York. He was working at a bank when he got interested in photography around 1877. He took his first dry plate photograph the next year with the camera that he invented—a view of the building across the street from his window. He developed this little handheld camera, and he called it the Kodak because it was easy to remember, difficult to misspell, and it meant nothing, so it could only be associated with his product.

With company (i.e. domain) names always a hot issue, especially as they pertain to search reputation management, typo traffic, and owning the SERP for your company/product searches, it's quite interesting to hear similar philosophies dredged up from yesteryear.

Stories like this always make me happy that I'm not in charge of the search presence for the Hilton hotel in Paris.

No distance, no world, no time, no space, no galaxy, no matter how significantly and broad it may perhaps be that really like can develop and find every other. Just like Jake and Neytiri in Character.

Gamer Reviewit’s never a happy occasion when a game and company are beset by hard times due to a failing product. And while as of late i gave their sophomore title a 6. 5 rating, i have repeatedly stated that i actually find apb to be some fun despite its flaws. With the recent news surrounding realtime worlds’ insolvency and entrance into the dreaded administration stage, i can’t support but wonder just what went defective with the promising game of cops and robbers they not long ago freed. And while i’m surely no expert in the “what’s and why for’s” of videogame design and videogame business, i do have my theories as to why apb and realtime worlds now find themselves at the end of the line praying for a miracle. I actually hope they get another opportunity too. The firstborn crackdown was an absolute riot. Apb’s not a bad game, and i’m in addition not going to say “it’s dead”. In fact i hope it keeps on keeping on. With the next list i may be to the full or entire extent off base, but from a player’s perspective this is the most proficient i could come up with. Feel free to talk about and give your own hypothesis in the remarks beneath.

Trailers Coming Soon If you reflect on the games that made your jaw drop, something you just couldn’t stop raving about, Mafia is most certainly one game that comes to mind. For its time, it was the best crime/gangster game there was with amazing graphics. Mafia, till date features one of the best stories in a game with >..]
