CyberSomething.ca (4.Viewing)

Because of the negative connotation of CyberBully would anyone here spend significant money to purchase a domain with the term cyber in it?

I understand CyberSex will sell for huge money but technically it also has a negative connotation.

I find CyberBully is so entrenched in our society that I would not purchase a domain with that in the name, and I most certainly could not envision myself using it for business.

So I figured I would ask the question and open up some dialogue.

Would you use a domain name with CyberSomething.ca for your business?

and if you're pointing out negative connotations, don't forget about cybersquatting... that one probably hits closer to home for most of us than cyberbullying.

Maybe CyberTerror / CyberCrime / CyberSecurity along those lines, CyberBullying is a huge issue, It would be good for a blog, outreach, or non-profit. I bought AntiBullying.ca a while back after seeing lots of teens choosing suicide as a result of bullying.

I can't think of "something" specific I'd do with CyberSomething.ca, other than a blog maybe or so.

Cybera.ca is an interesting one, with lots of traffic too, but they may have chosen the name in 2007 (according to whois).

Our Purpose

Cybera is Alberta's not-for-profit organization, responsible for driving economic growth through the use of digital technology.

Our core role is to oversee the development and operations of Alberta’s cyberinfrastructure – the advanced system of networks and computers that keep government, educators, not-for-profits, and entrepreneurs at the forefront of technological change.

We work with our members to ensure a connected future for all Albertans.

I also came across this government website: getcybersafe.gc.ca

Generally speaking, I'd say the word cyber is becoming more and more popular/synonymous with cybersecurity but I still don't mind the word for other uses.

It also makes me think of Sibername, which I assume is the equivalent of Cybername?
