McDonald is a franchise in a distant point in the world, not many branches and not North America. I guess this is true also for Blockbuster and HSBC. its a cool idea, but as said require long and tedious sale process, with integration to their customers Warehouse which is not relevant specially in face of regulations and security issues. but again cool idea and great vision. is it something that can be executed?

Tveez has rebranded itself and will now be known as Odysii.  The company specializes in point of sale signs- the online displays that we often see in malls or airports. The company’s technology allows these signs to be synched with real time data from the client’s systems. For example: imagine a sign in Macy’s annoucing that there are only 10 pairs of Nike shoes left on sale. The company will use the investment to penetrate the US market. See TC post.

To come up with digitalsignage.com, digisigns.com or .net? Wow - that's really out of the box. They should hire you. Should McDonald's change their name to hamburgersandfries? It's o.k. to hate the name, but at least come up with a more intelligent alternative. It's painfully obvious that you don't even understand the offering or marketing for that matter - and that you have a lot of time on your hands. Keep plugging away on those impressive digital signage urls! Frank - kudos for the intelligent response! Perhaps you should own the blog. SinglePill – you are a marketing genius.

The technology is what matters and McDonald’s, Blockbuster, and HSBC are not exactly small customers. The service this company provides requires a decent amount of integration, and the sales model is high-touch. They will be required to go out and cold call companies, so remembering a domain name means very little. But you all obviously are experts at B2B because you have a client list that is far more impressive, right? I think you all are forgetting that this is NOT A CONSUMER facing company.

I've registered from scratch two domains over the past couple of weeks for particular projects/ideas that are both memorable and intuitively spelled. One is slightly neologistic, but even over the phone you wouldn't have to spell it out. I'd hate to think there was an inverse relationship between spellability of names and imagination/foresight of the management team, but the deadpool will be the judge. That said, haven't these guys thought of patents? Adding "Blue Light Special" functionality to "Silent Radio" technology (http://www.1stchoiceleddisplays.com/Specials_/specials_.html) could be a real market crusher. It does seem a bit old-school tech for TC, though. I agree.

Odyssii.com??? When will this trend of using "cool" mispelled make-em ups END? DigiSigns.com - DigitalSignage.com (or even gasp a .net!) any of these would have done. Maybe something that someone won't have to repeat ten times. Uh Benchmark, $15M and you don’t think maybe just maybe acquiring a generic URL might be wise. Odyssii.com???
