Subject: a name for the online course
From: WendyPetti@xxxx

Hi again... I am really gearing up to start posting a lot of interactive 
MicroWorlds lessons. Rather than posting them on my existing site, I thought 
it would make sense if we established a unique identity for this cybercourse. 
I'd like to register a domain name and sign up with a web-hosting company as 
soon as possible. I don't care that much what the domain name is and I'm not 
feeling very inspired today. But I checked some possibilities today and 
these names, for example, are available:

cybermw.com
ilovemicroworlds.com
microworldsonline.com
learnmicroworlds.com
learnmw.com
mwcybercourse.com
microworldshelp.com
mwhelp.com
funwithmicroworlds.com

A couple of related names are already registered by other parties:

microworlds.com
mw.com
mwonline.com

I'm sure some of you can think of some additional possibilities. I'd like to 
get a few more ideas from you and then have you vote for your preferred name 
by an online poll. By the way, even though the name of this group is 
"mwcybercourse," I don't personally think that that would be the best domain 
name. I'd prefer something catchier, myself. But there is also a danger of 
getting too "cutesy" with some of these possibilities. And when I see 
"mwhelp" in writing it looks to me more like "m-whelp" rather than 
"mw-help"... although I guess we could also hyphenate it as I just did. But 
then one would always have to spell it out to people: "Visit the site, 'mw 
hyphen help dot com'" -- so it is probably best to avoid a name requiring 
punctuation, too, or a name requiring capital letters. 

I would suggest that you submit your additional suggestions to me by private 
e-mail and not to this whole group so that we don't bog down the group 
dialogue with this, and then I'll post all of the suggestions into a poll in 
a couple of days. Submit to:

wendypetti@xxxx

Thanks,
Wendy
