Badly chosen web addresses.

Post by Demmerz »

Have I posted this before? Oh well I'm posting anyway. Here's a copy of an e-mail I received earlier.

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs...

Attn: Entrepeneurs

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name... wait for it... is
http://www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
http://www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
http://www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
http://www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company...
http://www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales (that's in Australia):
http://www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
http://www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
http://www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
http://www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
http://www.gotahoe.com
Still kicking about.

Brilliant! And I bet so much thought went into setting them up, and they didn't even 'read' it when they had finished... :)
