To Be or Not To Be, That is the Domain Question
Adaptation by Mike Banks Valentine with apologies to Shakespear
To be, or not to be: that is Domain question. Whether 'tis
nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of slow, free
servers, Or to take arms against a sea of wannabees, And by
opposing, end them. To search: to seek; No more; and, by
anonymity to say we end The heartache of a million useless
search results That eBiz is heir to, 'tis a relevancy Devoutly
to be earn'd. To look; to seek; To find? perchance to link! Ay,
there's the URL; For in search fatigue domain names may come,
When we've shuffl'd off this long URL, Must give us pause.
There's the address That takes gigabytes for so long a name. For
who would bear the tilde and subdirectory, The competitor's URL,
the name so catchy The pangs of taken domains, the listing
delay, The insolence of Yahoo, and the spurns That patient merit
of unworthy geocities, When he himself might his IPO make
Without Domain name? Who would Google bear, To grunt through
subdirectories and filenames, But the dread of something after
backslash, The undiscovered Business from whose URL No surfer
returns, puzzles the will And make us rather bear those URLs we
have Than buy the others that are already taken? Thus creativity
does make cowards of us all; And thus rush'd to registration of
a name We worry o'er lowly cost of reserving, And enterprises of
great riches and power With this regard our clients turn away,
And lose the name of action.com!
