It's not really because you don't care, etc, it's just because you're not good enough. Some people are knowledgeable, others are doomed to be Ruby programmers forever, but that's life.

How about £10? You know.. how much you're supposed to pay for a domain.
Re:Pre-branded domain names for startups on Thursday September 29, 2011 @07:46AM (#3052051)
Very true, but when it comes to a domain, to have a fair and equal system - they must be the same.
Re:Pre-branded domain names for startups on Thursday September 29, 2011 @07:23AM (#3052002)
Huh? A domain is worth around £10, not $250, not £1000 and definitely not $15,000+.

Great idea for them, yes. For us? Awful. Most of the time I bet the logos (which are ok but a bit generic) won't match what you have in mind for your site. These people are no better than domain squatters - they're an unnecessary tax on startups. A number of times now I've abandoned ideas after being unable to find a domain name as they're all taken by squatters, it's saddening :(

Ugh! These are just glorified domain sitters disguised as a trendy start-up. Please don't give these people your money - they ruin innovation by taking up massive amounts of domains then selling them for huge amounts. These people RUIN the internet.
