AGREE: Cultural references are one of the strongest things you can bring to the table

DISAGREE: If you want people to know you, no matter what you write about or what your career is, you should be blogging at yourname.com, @monicaobrien

All of the blogs Monica mentions that are both popular and based off a name.com domain instead of a brand.com domain are from men (see comment). I think, because women change their names through marriage and divorce. While I have rebeccathorman.com forwarding to modite.com, I wouldn’t build my brand around it because I except my name to change when I get married .

Monica is already married so this is probably less of an issue for her, but I think you’ll notice that a lot of women-based blogs aren’t based on a name.com domain, and I’m guessing this is part of the reason.
