Podstarter Vision and mission

June 24, 2008 By: Elan Category: podstarter

So - I have a domain, a name and a logo on the way (courtesy of Clint Bryce).

What’s next? Vision and mission I guess …………

Vision >>>>>>>

To innovate kick-ass web 2.0 technologies that firmly put South Africa on the global internet map.

Mission >>>>>>

To fearlessly and swiftly build useful, innovative technology platforms that enable community, communications, contribution and sharing to an engaged audience that can be monetised.

Ambitious - well I’m thinking “Go big - or go home!” : )

Any thoughts on refining these?

Random thought: Can you build a business around a domain name?

June 23, 2008 By: Elan Category: podstarter

So I was so chuffed that I managed to register www.podstarter.com as well as .co.za, net etc etc today and in a world where every word and combination of word has been registered already I was gob-smacked that it was available!!

Now - all I want to do is build a business around the concept!

In fact it got me to thinking - how many businesses have settled on names purely as a factor of the .com domain they could actually get. I was equally as chuffed when we scored Utterbuzz.com earlier in the year.

You can introduce whatever other domains you like but if you don’t got the .com - you don’t got nothing : )

Watch this space. Podstarter.com has a name - now I just need a plan : )
