Domain Appraisal: ymd.info - (YMD) - A historical events diary

A site that could be a historical trove of events catalogued by date. YMD stands for Year Month Date. Is this is really good domain? It’s 3 letters. It’s on auction. So what’s a good bidding cap on this domain?

Is it really an advantage to have a 3-letter domain, especially when it’s not going to be clear what it means? Wouldn’t it stand for “year month day”?

Anyhow, something like yearmonthday.net would be fine, clearer, and cheaper — or yearmonthdate.com if “date” was really what you wanted. :slight_smile:

Oh yeah you’re right! Day is right!

It only works if you’re ready to market on that arbitrary or semi-arbitrary string. IBM and HP work because they were well-established before the internet existed.
Better hope the acronym doesn’t stand for something else that’s already there and amusing.
YMD is ripe for a parody IMHO.

I think the most interesting domains are directly tied to the task or topic. InternetArchive is better than waybackmachine, for instance. IA has too many candidate expansions
