I’ve got a pretty good domain name and now I need an idea for it. The domain is www.wintheinternet.com and I’m not exactly sure what to do with it.

Win The Internet

I had at first thought that an internet scavenger hunt would be fun to do. You’d be scored based on what sites you visited and things you did on the internet. For example, a visit to the official website of Snakes on a Plane would definitely garner some points, as would a trip to Bea Arthur’s IMDB profile. But if you Google or Technorati yourself, you lose points. Basically, do fun things on the internet and you get points, do stupid things on the internet and lose points. I thought a Firefox plugin could do this pretty easily and your score would be updated automatically.

But then, I realized that privacy would be a HUGE issue and didn’t want anyone to get freaked out that a Firefox plugin was tracking your internet browsing.

That said, I kind of think I have to scrap that idea. I hope you guys can think of something better. I know it’s lame to ask for help, but I’m sure someone out there can think of something better to do with this URL.
