I’ve started to build out my new personal Web 2.0 Website / blog here at JoeKennedy.biz. According to the book Trust
Agents by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, people have a tendency to trust .com domain names more than domains with other extensions – including .biz. In my case, as in many, my name is not uncommon (in fact there are some very famous and notable people who I share it with).
I wanted to use a domain with my name in it, so I chose JoeKennedy.biz (I guess I wasn’t clever or creative enough). Do you trust me any less because of it? When is it okay to use a .biz domain name? Ever? Does it really matter these days? How important is a domain name? If you were in my position, what domain name would you have used?
I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions.
BTW – I’d also like to say “Skidoodleski” (a special code word for Google alerts) – and to claim this blog on Technorati, I need to include this claim token YDRX9NRVANEA.
