					<description>I have huge respect for Seth and Squidoo and his books and his other stuff. He stands out as someone who delivers on genuinely useful ideas most of the time. I think the new URL is good for a few reasons:

- you read it and then read it again - it gets noticed
- it's easy to remember
- it relates to the topic
- people are talking about it because of the spelling (as we are here)

As you say though the downside is it's easy to mis-spell, so it does break one of the golden URL rules.

Good luck to Seth and I hope he succeeds (again)

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;@Richard&lt;/strong&gt;: No disrespect to Seth intended, as I stated, but it is a bad domain name (no matter what upside you try and find). That "people talk about it" thing is a latch ditch attempt at redemption... it is an urban myth that any publicity is good publicity when you are promoting a new web site in a crowded market. I'm happy to link to him and talk about his site...but it won't help. Can't spell it, can't speak it, don't own the probable typos, and it is remarkable for how bad it is. That doesn't add up to genius marketing.

Given no option but try and help Seth succeed, I'd turn those 3 lower case I's into cute indian arrows pointing up, perhaps work in a tee-pee theme somehow, trying to help make it memorable but he'll still lose his traffic to tribe and triibe and probably trybe and triiiibe etc. &lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Good luck to Seth. If there is one thing I have learned from the domaining community, it is that people truly believe in their genius domain name choices, even when I (and perhaps everyone else) think they are terrible. Feel free to cite Galileo here, or Einstein's shoe tying issues, or whetever. &lt;/em&gt;</description>
