    If you're whatever.io, don't waste your energy chasing http://whatever.com . It's a black hole. Just change your name.

        @paulg You think it's worse to be whatever.io than http://somethingelse.com ?

        @paulg I feel like alternate domains are starting to become mainstream enough to just not matter.

        @paulg we've been a dot-net for eighteen years, and finally had the chance to pick up the .com. Exciting for us at "http://sonic.com "!

        @paulg If you want to find an available .com to begin with, I can't recommend http://LeanDomainSearch.com  enough.
