closed starmaker.org

[Kid Kool]

thought it was a cool drop even for .org
all the other extensions are gone including .tv and .com.cn

I think .org is a minus for this name.

One of those PR professionals who are paid groom budding actors and singers into potential stars I guess. But because this is a .org, maybe you can get counsel for free

starmaker is a term usually used to describe a talent agency or anyone who is in the business of "making people famous".

Could be worth something in the (far...) future. heh heh

 

[peter]

oh ok, cool

then i think it works even better in .org than .net

 

[Kid Kool]

i don't see why people have such a problem with .org. i know an awful lot of buyers who prefer .org to .net.

My bank uses a .org as well as many other businesses, including talent agencies and promoters.

I personally don't have a problem with .org.
But for this particular name I think .org is not very good.

I was looking at it from a sci-fi perspective...

Being a fan of media/entertainment names I of course like starmaker.org. I agree with you about .org kid. I just made an excellent sale of a .org to a large medical group. .org is very popular in the medical field and also widely used in the media, like AP.org (the Associated Press site). I have sold more $ worth of .org domains in the past year than .net, so my mindset is also changing from favoring .net (as second to .com) to favoring carefully selected .orgs (they need to match the fields that like to use them of course). I would have taken starmaker. org. Good luck with it.

.ORG ain't such a bad thing if used in the right context, and can even help differentiate your site from the crowded .com namespace. It's definitely grown in familiarity in the past years kid, so maybe you have a point.

starmakers.org would be good.
No wonder it's taken.

I don't think they are going to let it expire. It's a nice French site.

I have my eye on the "better" name too

On the .org, agree with Reign that the plural would be better (especially since it would be an organization). Lots of big egos in the talent business though, so there's a good chance you could find a buyer for the singular. The top guy in those organizations usually think they are the only ones that are important (note how many of them use the leader's personal name in the company name).
