Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate your thoughts.
In terms of development, I had thought it could be a news cum rumour type of premise. You know, listening, or rather the site using its 'ears' to pick up on the latest news, interesting stories, gossip, etc..
With the right presentation, I don't *think* there'll be a need to use or acquire the .com variant either, i.e. ears.com.
Cheers,
