TechForge goes Shopping!
Most people relate the concept of shopping with clothes and malls. This morning, let me relate shopping with online purchases. As part of TechForge I.T. Solutions‘ brand protection scheme, I bought around 20 domains that sounded like our company name.
The last thing I want is typosquatters and cybersquatters damaging our reputation.
Wikipedia:
Typosquatting, also called URL hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting which relies on mistakes such as typographical errors made by Internet users when inputting a website address into a web browser. Should a user accidentally enter an incorrect website address, they may be led to an alternative address owned by a cybersquatter.
Cybersquatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else.
While TechForge isn’t really the most original of company names out there, this sounds like a good name for our first company.
Our primary website, TechForgeOnline.com will be up by December 25, 2006.
