Name of our website

What would you say if everythingiCafe were to change to a new and shorter name? Something easier to type into a browser. Keep in mind that domains are difficult to come by, so a name that might make tremendous sense, might be difficult to acquire given our little or no budget allocated for said possible change. No, eiC.com is not available.

Discuss.

Depending on what options I came up with. Right now, I'd like to get feedback on whether members would be receptive to that sort of change. Our being a site that deals heavily in mobile devices, there is something to a shorter domain name. I know that despite bookmarks, I find myself typing everythingiCafe.com quite often. It's 15 characters, plus the dot com.

I like the general idea, as long as you are able to find a really killer name. Like Fred or something.

I'll think of some and trow it your way, but ibenny is a very good choice.

Thanks for editing my post btw.

Do you want to keep the "cafe" in there?

In a perfect world, I think the less character ridden domain would have some ties back to the current site domain. That would help any prospective change. I don't want people to show up and say, hey what's this site iMagic.

www . AlliTalk .com is also available.
I'm thinking "all" in replace of "everything" way shorter, but not as catchy. Sounds like a telephone company thou.

Whatabout eiC or icafe.net?

Both taken. I'm also not sold on .net and it wouldn't be worth what it would take to get that domain.

From what I'm seeing so far, people here seem to be receptive to the idea as a whole. Right?
