Hi Michael,

That’s the most obvious one, and seems to make the most sense. My problem with it is that dang HYPHEN – lol. Plus, even though the “three” words are clear to domainers, the public still wouldn’t get it because I don’t think they’d understand the phrase and its connection “typing-in-your-browse-bar-the-phrase-or-word-you-want and-adding-an-extension-to-it-instead-of-searching-for-it-in-a-search-engine”.

Sounds “Dee – lightful”, Bob! That’s a great brand tho for domain availability searching. hope you got that domain! I don’t think the name itself will help laymen understand the “typein” search process by that name though. Thanks for your suggestion!

I understand your position now. We all have tasted the corporate effect to some extent. I was a stock broker for close to twenty years and I understand the funny business that goes on beleive me.

You are right about Direct Search not being quite definitive enough. The only other good alternatives would be Direct connect or direct connect traffic. It would depend on the context used. We will figure this out yet, hang in there.

I am very aware of The refreshing alternative that the Domain Roundtable provides for the domaining community. They are lucky having you to help guide them.

I have given serious thought to the rebranding of Direct Navigation. And the winner behind the cutain is = Direct Search.
By definition it is easily understood and is intuitively user friendly. Thats my final vote in this all important Primary election.
DIRECT SEARCH is the answer!

Yep, “Direct Search” seems like a capable fellow who can replace the musty “direct navigation” term, but what sets “direct search” apart from searching from a search engine or a browser? It really doesn’t define the difference, which is the BIG money shot for domainers… typing the domain into the browser search field, or using the many search engines, especially some of the default locations such as MSN and Google?

Oh, for your’s and anyone else’s information, the DRT 2007, that I designed and produced as the executive producer, was the “breakout” Domain Roundtable event. It put Mr. Westerdal on the cover of Modern Domainer magazine. However, I am NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH NAME INTELLIGENCE, the owners of the event. I must refrain from making further remarks because of legal claims I filed regarding my commission from revenues made from the event. I would really appreciate it if all my readers and everyone in the domain industry understood that I no longer have any connection whatsoever with Name Intelligence, Domaintools.com, and the Domain Roundtable.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff, good job getting at least one of the domains. Thanks for the compliment, but sometimes my mind isn’t set. lol

I was never involved with Domainfest, although they are an excellent domain conference to attend. I was the executive director of the Domain Roundtable Conference 2007, which you can find featured at DNjournal.com.

I don’t think so, Jeff. It sounds cool, but it pushes the brain to think of food that has not been grown with antibiotics and other chemicals. If I wanted to do an “organic search”, I’d be wanting to find all products grown organically and ecologically safe, with renewable energy sources.

Nice brand name, though. Did you register those domains? If so… nice job. Build them out to sell organic products.
