My website business is launching this summer - we are providing 4 services free of charge to University of Colorado - Boulder students:
- provide a craigslist of sorts for used textbooks (to undercut the bookstore)
- provide a guide to life/wiki of all of the necessary and you-never-thought-you`d-use information for cu students: locations of banks/atms/drycleaners/stores/etc, how to get a tutor, sports team following, snow report, etc
- provide an editable calendar so students don`t have to go to 6 different sites for events
- provide a place for local businesses to advertise
I want to have a name that appeals to college students but isn`t specific to CU (for potential expansion purposes). I originally started out with "collegiatecrossroads.com" but I felt that was too brick and mortar. Then, I went with "mycheatsheet.com" but the domain was taken. "MyeCheatSheet.com" doesn`t exactly roll off the tongue and I can`t think of any emotion evoking one or two syllable words (see Yahoo! or Joomla!).
Am I going in the right direction?

Available through godaddy for $8.99
heres a thought.
what about something dealing with shortcuts?
the most abstract name i could come up with is "n4m" = inform.
but meh. shortcuts?
FYLS (for your lifestyle)
However, for the meantime, I used a root-word technique to smash 2 words together.
The working name is SalvaCron
aka SaveTime.
The tagline is "your first stop because time is precious."
I figured long domain names are on the way out. If I want to make a splash, it might have to be with a "Google" or a "Yahoo".
Does anybody have a favorite ... root word lol ... they like? I really like -cron.
Thanks again,
Yiwen
hmm.
thats so badass.
although since i suffered through IB and AP in hs im gonna be entering junior year?
^^^ jus a little proud of that.
anyways.
how about CAMPUSINTEL.com
its like ... intel - the military recon kind.
or CAMPUSRECON.com
campusintel.com or campusrecon.com?
i decided on
campusclicker.com
"click ... done"
to try and illustrate the ease, convenience, and to definitively set the target market as college students.
thanks for all of your help and insight.

I love this idea of yours with the name and it`s VERY catchy.
How about something like `collegesoup.com` or `campusoup.com` or add an extra `s` to either of these names.
Basically something related to the combination of a college environment and soup where using soup as an abstract of finding in your soup what ever you need?
If so I`d appreciate if you buy your domain, web hosting or web pages from my web site: www.mydomaintheweb.com

As far as SlavaCron - "cron" part sounds too computerish (as an Apache cron), "Slava" sounds like "Slavic" plus "Slava" is a russian name. None of it has nothing to do with saving time.
See, when creativity and domain name availability are low, people start use numbers and/or words that might sound cool today but will sound retarded tomorrow. Don`t you agree?
Man, whatever you do, please don`t use numbers or words "ninja" or "clown" - all of that is just too uncool.
Did you just recommend not using words in a name? Interesting.
