Well, at least our short term memory. Our devices have taken over that memory task for us. Do you know your spouse or girlfriend’s/boyfriend’s cell number? Do they know yours? Chances are, probably not. When you want to reach them, you call them by clicking their name, or saying their name to your smart phone. You programmed their number a long time ago and poof it was gone from your mind forever.

A RingWord. A RingWord is a mnemonic device, a way we can easily remember something that is abstract, like a phone number. A RingWord replaces your forgettable phone number with a memorable word. A RingWord can describe you, your name or personality. It could be your first name, nick name, or favorite fictional character. It can describe a product, or a company. You choose the word that defines you, your business, or whatever you sell.

Sound crazy? You use it every day. The Internet runs on Ring Words, only they call them “domain names.” Domain names actually represent IP numbers. An IP number is like a phone number in that it is a group of numbers used as an address for Web sites. Nobody would remember 64.18.15.255, but everyone remembers “Google.” A RingWord is like a domain name for your phone number.

Or maybe you fancy yourself more a Sherlock Holmes or Katniss Everdeen. Your RingWord can be anything you want it to be. If your friends know you love the Hunger Games, they will always be able to call you, simply by looking up RingWord “Katniss.” With a RingWord you get a memorable personality for your phone, not just a forgettable number.

Advertisers have a similar problem trying to get you to order products. They typically repeat a phone number 3 times every 30 seconds, beating it into your consciousness, hoping that you will remember. You don’t. Usually you mute it or change the station. If they are lucky, you write it down, which is very hard to do when you are driving or at the beach. They lose customers needlessly as well as listeners.

A RingWord is a boon for businesses as they can get their company name as their RingWord, such as “FlowersRUs,” a product related RingWord such as “Flowers,” or they can get a service related RingWord such as “WeddingFlowers.” Any word or words that describe your business can be used. A RingWord won’t be forgotten because it IS the product you want to order or describes it.

Businesses and advertisers can display their currently running radio or TV ad, YouTube videos, audio ads as well as link to previous ads on their RingWord profile page. It’s easy to remember and easy to find.

People try to find phone numbers that spell their business, product or their name, something easy to remember. These are difficult to find, and costly. A RingWord is better. It’s memorable. It describes you, your product or your business. It links to your phone or multiple phone numbers, work, cell or home. You can add your web site, Facebook page, Twitter account, Instagram and more. The best part is that you can secure any or all contact items with different passwords. It’s easy and works great.

Get your own RingWord and you will never be forgotten again.

Most of the great domain names have long been bought, sold and resold. Sure, there are new generic top level domains (GTLD) coming out all the time, with even more specific category names. The best will be purchased quickly, the rest probably not worth that much. Dot com is still king, and the new generics may make them even more valuable because they are diluting the pool.

Unless you get a really catchy GTLD, nobody may even know that your new extension exists on the Net. They know dot com, maybe dot net or dot org. I suspect the new GTLD’s will confuse more people than they will help.

Business needs easy phone numbers. If you have 1800-Flowers you are lucky, or you spent a lot of money to get that number. Much like a special domain name that describes your company or product, (flowers.com) a great domain name is worth the money. Unfortunately, once flowers.com is taken or 1800Flowers is gone, how can you get a good phone number or domain name? Get a RingWord. It’s better. It can be a great domain name AND a great phone number.

A RingWord is linked to your phone number or numbers. You can use any phone number, memorable or not and link it to your RingWord. Your RingWord or RingWords can be anything, Flowers, LAflowers, ChicagoFlowers, TerrisFlowers, JustTulips, almost anything you can think of that describes your business.

If you have a less than memorable domain name for your flower store, it’s not a problem. You simply add your web site to your profile or add our “auto redirect” feature to your account. You can then tell your customers to simply enter RingWord.com/Flowers in their browser and they will immediately see your page or your profile, with all your contact phone numbers, web site, Facebook page and more.

You can set your profile to display your current running ad image, links to YouTube videos or radio audio commercials. The best part is nobody will ever forget your phone number because they don’t have to remember it. They simply remember you, your product, or your descriptive word.

Domain resellers will quickly find that RingWords will become more valuable than many domain names, simply because one RingWord can contain many web site domain names (no matter what extension), phone numbers and more: A “One RingWord To Rule Them All” scenario. If you think people want a great domain to assign to their business site, wait until you see the demand for a great RingWord to replace their less than stellar domain name, and for their business phone number.

The best part is that because RingWord is new, most of the best “words” are available at a nominal fee.
