Long story short, I had big plans for developing Programming.io into a cruft-free social bookmarking service for developers, but other projects are making that impossible.<p>It could obviously be made into anything related to programming (tutorials, mentoring or freelance marketplace, Q&A format forum, etc.)<p>If you're interested, you can check out the auction here (ends in 2 days): https://flippa.com/10635953-programming-io
Regarding domains such as these, e.g programming.io or insurance.com, why would one want these? Aren't they too generic? Shouldn't domain names correspond more to the brand itself?<p>I don't know anyone who looks for things related to programming by going directly on programming.com.<p>If i was looking for insurance, I wouldn't just go on insurance.com either.<p>What's the benefit of owning this type of domain?
