Web Wide What?

Over the last couple of days I have been thinking that the domain name WebWideWord is perhaps not as good as I originally thought.


When I came up with the name and saw that it was free I though it was ideal. A play on the term "World Wide Web" but switched to mean a word grid that was as wide as the web, what could be better? Easily remembered! Quite a fun name!


The problem is that it is too much like World Wide Web, a phrase that just rolls off the tongue for many people. So far I have had the site referred to as

  • WebWideWord (The correct one - well done to those who use this one)
  • WordWideWeb - (I include myself in this one and even posted on a forum with this as the link, Ooops)
  • WorldWideWord

I'm tempted to email the owners of the other two domains (Yes! they both exist) to ask if their traffic has increased over the last couple of weeks. I'd also be interested to hear if they have experienced the same problems over confusion with the domain name.

So, remember it's www.webwideword.com, the WebWideWord.
