We met with them and scoped out the intial marketing approach - go where the people are. Well in addition I bought every possible domain name I could think of. And we went to our contacts and showed them, we own all the domain names for the new product -Yes they did not even buy their product name. So you are right the Big Companies are still missing the boat. I worked with Toyota earlier this year on a project for their new Tundra Crew Max.

I tried to grab the domain, juet to use the # visits as an example of big corporations being stupid, but just missed out to a fellow Aussie, who must have had the same idea! Cheers, Mike Hey Rider,

I wrote the story on the Splenda domains. I agree with you - its amazing to me how stupid some of these major companies are when it comes to such important image and marketing issues related to their web presence. I was amazed at J&J and Tate as I researched the story - I could not believe anyone would come up with the crazy domain names they did, and decided to purchase - they make no sense. As other readers have pointed out one could just as easily have purchased numerous other outlandish domain names. Interesting thoughts on the Honda domains. I wrote the story on the Splenda domains.
