Ask HN: Some ideas for undertenner.com?

#1

Post by WorldMover » Sun, Jul 03, 2011, 9:01 AM UTC

I've had the domain undertenner.com for a while and it's been a search site for products under ten pounds or dollars

I'm now thinking about using the domain for something else but I am not sure what the best alternative is, so some ideas would be appreciated

I've been thinking about showing daily deals that are under $10, or showing products from major sites that under $10, or maybe just clearance items that are now under $10

Does anyone have any other suggestions? What do you think is the best approach?

a dating site that only accepts people if they are less than a perfect 10. The opposite of beautifulpeople.com

Thanks for the suggestion - it sounds interesting, but will people be embarrassed to be on it? Also there is the chicken and egg problem with dating sites which will be difficult to overcome

I didn't think anyone'd like it but I threw it out there anyways. Because it's a kind of a young person's name when it refers to money (who else says "tenner"), I'd maybe consider a directory/search engine of restaurants/bars that offer meals under ten bucks. Aim for students. They're always broke and hungry

The student directory idea is really good, I am going to look into this

A dating site for people under the age of ten? Seriously, I think that's a great idea. A dating site for t(w)eens. Very unorthodox but let's be honest, that has potential.

Twitter could be called under140.com

My point you don't have to restrict yourself to money as the scale.

-site for videos under 10 minutes. -site for pitches under 10 seconds (this has HUGE potential). -site exclusively for shoes under size 10. -github for music/ringtones (all under 10 seconds). allow editing/merging/mashing -groupon type site where 9 people buy something and tenth one gets it for free.
