All the names are taken!
I came across this fascinating article online by Dennis Forbes about domain names. It has loads of interesting stats including:
- All two- and three-letter .com domain names have been taken.
- 80 per cent of four-letter names have gone
- The most popular domain name length is 11 characters
- The most common letter to start with is S
- All the popular male and female first names and popular surnames have been taken
Its written in an amusing way - take a look - http://www.yafla.com/dforbes/2006/03/29.html#a302
Ok so this isn't initially connected to SQL or BI ...but wait....check out the last paragraph....
Conclusion
"Hopefully this was a bit entertaining, and maybe even informative. I'm doing a much more intriguing, large-scale analysis (again, it's a nice opportunity to demonstrate some of the new SQL Server 2005 functionality) that I'll publish soon, but these were the low-hanging fruit."
Cheers Dennis! :-)
