Project X-mukkah

Rachel, OK, here's the update on acquiring domain names for Project X-mukkah. Chrismukkah.com, Chrismukkah.org, Chrismukah.com and Chrismuka.com. were all registered in December 2003. The fellow who owns Chrismukkah.com is trying to sell it to the highest bidder. Chrismukkah.org is owned by Jay Brewer who is an IT at the New York Times. I spoke with him on the phone. I don't think he plans to do anything commercial with the site. I sent an email to the anonymous owner of Chrismukah.com to see if they were interested in selling it. Chrismuka.com is registered to a company in Yonkers, NY. Probably the owner's name is Chris Mukattore or something. Accordingly, I've registered the "next best" domain names. We will only succeed with strong content and search engine positioning anyway. CHRISMUKKA.COM (A common misspelling of Chanukah, plus it's shorter without the H at the end anyway) CHRISMUKKAH.NET (spelled just as they did on the OC episode) CHRISMUKKAH.BIZ (.BIZ domains were on sale at GoDaddy for $5.00-can't resist a bargain) CHRISMUKAH.NET (spelled differently from the OC episode.) CHRISMUKAH.ORG (playing monopoly.. don't want more competition) CHRISMUKAH.BIZ (on sale for a few extra bucks) OYJOY.COM (It's short, EZ to remember. Shorter domains generally have more value. It's a good catch-all name for this venture) Michelle is going to start working on a simple home page shortly. ********** Ron - great! i like how you are covering your tracks! i noticed that hannak(k)ah is spelled with one & two ks. which is it? i am not sure whether i prefer chrismukkah or chrismukah. you? oh, & i LIKE OYJOY. clever. simple. could be mother co. for chrismukkah. attached is the menorah cane sketch i have begun. i will color it in, do an illustrator graphic of it, etc. might be fun to use as a bright splash page on the website. that or another one of the illustrations.bright, simple & communicative is always good as an (eye) opener.
