Abbreviations as domain names
Many Western businesses have names that consist of three uninspiring words.
British Broadcasting Corporation
Cable Network News
International Business Machines
Often these large businesses are better known (or only known) by their initials: BBC, CNN, IBM
But their is only one ibm.com.
So what website for a company named International Batik Manufacturer?
The org and net versions of ibm are also long taken.
Go for ibama.com. It even sounds better than ibm.com
