I was doing some research on locative media and I think I just discovered the longest active domain name on the entire net:
registeringdomainnamesismorefunthandoingrealwork. com
After browsing through the blog, there isn't any indication that the author might be a domainer. I think the domain is very descriptive and could be a great domain for a developed site with a hardcore 24/7 domainer community.
Long domain names, if descriptive enough, may actually have a market out there. Say you don't own pink. com, what's the alternative? everythinginpink. com (taken) or everythingispink (taken) or everythingthatispink. com. Shorter domains tend to be valued more because they are easier to remember. The same ease of remembering when applied to longer names could be the ingredient necessary in creating a desirable domain. Phrases during conversational speak tend to be easy to remember, no matter how long. Examples:
thingstodobeforeyoudie. com (taken)
iwillalwaysloveyou. com (taken)
lookingforagooddeal. com
tellmesomethingidontknow. com (taken)
ireallyneedanexpert. com
imrunningoutoftime. com (taken)
whatshouldidowithmysparetime. com
hotspotsinmycity. com
Descriptive, long but kind of easy to recall. While long domains will never be a substitute for shorter domains and won't be valued nearly as much there may be an untapped demand for them out there. Thoughts? Experiences?
