#2"Do.com has been in private beta testing thus far, but now the team wants to open its beta to more participants. It has extended an invitation for the first 200 VentureBeat readers that sign up using a select link to give it a spin. Go to the link https://www.do.com/users/sign_up and enter the code “DONKISCHESPOZ” to take part. Those who get in will also get 5 invites of their own so they can bring other people into the app."

I didn't see your post. Just signed up for the waiting list.
But the thing is that if it takes to long people will lose interest, though I have to admit the name/domain is catchy.

#5Quoting Paul Graham [http://messymatters.com/pgnames.html]:
"Nothing could be less cool, at this point, than calling a startup 'cool.com.' A company with a name like that could not have arisen organically. 'Cool.com' smells of a media conglomerate trying to create a web spinoff."
He has a point, yet getting the do.com domain proves they're taking this quite seriously. I guess the two signals cancel and I'm left neutral about the name. :)
Where that really matters, of course, is for startups like stripe.com and simple.com (formerly banksimple). They have justifiably huge value for their expensive domain names: being taken seriously is life-or-death for them.
Although I dislike all these expensive names -- especially "do" -- on other grounds: http://messymatters.com/nominology
Btw, I'm curious how do.com compares to trello.com...

They have the cash for acquiring such a domain name for sure. Last time facebook paid 8.5M for fb.com (also two-letter .com domain names)

"Invite code is not valid" All the invites have already been given away.
Anyone who got in want to share one of their five invites?

The whole "productivity app" market is saturated, yet new startups or apps come out all the time. Trello is one, Asana is another. And now, Do.

#9Fantastic. From poking around in the console a bit, it looks like Do.com is a Backbone.js app, and is using Handlebars.js for templating.

#10Happy to see that Salesforce is releasing its own apps on Heroku. It shows they are serious about using the platform as it is, instead of turning it into something enterprisey.
