Not 4 Nothing

I would like to state 4 the record that I do not find urls with the #4 in them to be catchy or easy to remember.

Let me elaborate...

If you have a product such as a four pack of widgets and you want the url 4widgets.com, then I see no problem with your url. It accurately represents your product. I still wouldn't do it, but if thats how you brand your 4 widgets in a box thats your deal. Now... >:) What if you are selling widgets for cars? widgets4cars.com right? Well... no. Do you really want to be constantly telling people its widgets (the number four) cars.com? Do you?

What if you are selling a cleaner for use on widgets? Would that be cleaner4widgets.com? Why not widgetcleaner.com or cleanerwidgets.com?

Use a number when you need a number leave the l33T scR1pt 2 the 0Day guys. widgetsforcars.com how hard is that?

thanks 4 reading my rant...

P.S. - Some support 4 my position on this 1:
