The document discusses the concept and usage of domain hacks, highlighting the specific example of the short dictionary word domain "s.et." Domain hacks involve creatively shortening URLs by using domain extensions as part of the word. Several well-known brands utilize domain hacks to effectively shorten URLs and enhance brand visibility. Examples include companies using domains like k.im, instagr.am, es.pn, ta.co, youtu.be, bi.ng, ti.me, pep.si, redd.it, and so.cl. Although these companies generally own their corresponding .com domains, some, like Microsoft, prefer the hacked version for redirection. Other notable examples include blo.gs, initially acquired by Yahoo and later by Automattic, and inter.net, a German ISP that does not own its .com counterpart. Additionally, domain hacks are popular among companies offering URL shortening services. Examples include bit.ly, a brandable hack as the word "bitly" doesn’t exist in the dictionary, along with po.st and awe.sm, which are used for simplifying and branding URLs. The document highlights the strategic advantages of using domain hacks in branding and marketing, noting that they offer unique and memorable naming opportunities for businesses.
