Using name extensions as part of the domain

[Kal?r]

For example:
Fami.ly =family
or using sentences
kickme.to = kick me to
or
break.us = break us

you get the picture, do you think this adds value to a domain or not?
I have a few like this and was wondering about them.

It is not a popular choice, but look good. Might have some value depending on the word, but not much hope.

Inter.Net
Wel.com
Ma.IL < no longer posible

Also give me an idea for yet another TLD : dot ING
I just hope it never happens!

 

[Kal?r]

Yeh, like that, any other opinions?

 

[GiantDomains]

wel.com is good? as what, welcome?

 

[Kal?r]

obiously

I don't like names like Fami.ly and Wel.com

They don't lend themselves well to memory and they are hard to speak to people or promote offline.

Why is that obvious. That's not how you spell welcome.

you need a little imagination, eg. 349349.us

I've done some of this... for example -- http://www.InVit.ro

but, to be honest, I think it is generally risky... people are quite conditioned to thinking of the two parts separately

OK... I have to admit that a ".ing" extension would be interest.ing

In fact... I'm laugh.ing just think.ing about it. :laugh:
