No, too long

I also think most webmasters already have their establised email address, changing establisehd email address is a big paid, there need to be a VERY VERY strong incentive for me to change my email address that I have been using for years.

Nice concept but i cant see it taking off.

Now with a name like UKWebmasterWorld.com , too long, if one has a good 3 character domain name its possible, people like fun email addresses that are also quite short.

A great idea would be to buy a load of domain names using peoples surnames, ie smith.com and market them as personalised emails... ie "john smith" see's this and buys john@smith.com for example for $x per year, now we all know you could have xxxx number of xxx@smith.com email addresses from one domain name or any surname for that matter so the potential is huge for someone.
I debated for a while but just don't have the time,nor the resources to set up a wesite with a suitable script.

Midlandi,
This idea is now new, its was done about 10 years ago when those domain extensions were still available, now as you know to get a decent domain name off the domain owner you have to pay through the nose and the project will not be that successful if the email addresses are too expensive.

Another guy did town and cities for example lets say you live in WalthamStow you can buy midlandi@walthamstow.co.uk or even the name of you street etc.

Really, i didnt realise it was done that long ago. I should really do my homework more and keep up....LOL

I voted no

Its too long and I have 5 different email addresses, there a pain in the back as it is. Having another 1 would probably make me mad.
