An earlier post here at ND outlined how TJ Demas spent over $1 million for a suite of numeric domains domains. For now, they mainly point to various versions of the Wall Street Journal with two notable exceptions. 44.com points to a CNN article about a black hole found at the center of the galaxy and 8808.com which points to a Name Pros thread announcing the purchase of six numeric domains from Marchex.

 

The new breed of “40 Under 40”, “30 Under 30” and the other “X Under “X” crowd, as selected by dozens of magazines, newspapers and business organizations, are also flexing their entrepreneurial muscles.

 

Love him him or not , a tip of the old skull cap goes out to Marc Lotenberg, CEO and founder of 944 Media, LLC. In a recent interview with the aforementioned Wall Street Journal Numbers Guy Carl Bialik, Marc offered:

“In a world moving so fast toward mobile applications, every major brand is leaning toward acronyms or number sequences in their Web domains to eliminate misspellings and prevent any roadblocks in accessing their Web site.”

 “Number sequences are incredibly powerful in creating simplicity for the user.”
