This is an alphabetical list of domains where I keep track of why I registered them, my initial plans for them, and my thoughts about how to develop them. Some are developed, some have development plans, and many are simply “on the shelf” for likely future use.
You may find that looking through my thoughts will inspire some ideas for ways to make best use of your own domains or give you ideas of what to look for when shopping for new domains.
