Simplename links .nz to the world

Having a polished presence on the internet will be right in your hands
if new .nz domain name company Simplename has their way. Their service
lets users of MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger and dozens of other online
sites become instantly recognisable with a .nz domain name.

"We've overcome the problem with various free Blogger services: they are
a pain to find or remember", says Richard Clark, creator of Simplename.
"Rather than just using mycoolname.co.nz, you're busy trying to tell
people long strings of letters with slashes and dots and all kinds of
crazy in them. So we came up with an easy solution that makes you look
good."

Simplename's new service provides the link between .nz domain names and
a dozen of the most popular free online services. You hand Simplename
your MySpace or TradeMe username during sign up, and the service does
the rest - your blog, holiday photos or TradeMe listings are right there
on your .nz domain.

Simplename is focusing on people looking to become a bit more serious
about their internet presence.

Says Clark: "You've got new one-or-two person businesses that need
something good on their business cards, you've got families looking to
create a home on the web, you've got keen bloggers and photographers and
TradeMe sellers who want to make it easy to let people know where to
find them online. Until we came along these people didn't even consider
it: it was just too hard and too expensive".

Not anymore. In keeping with the name, the signup process is simple,
intuitive and cheap.

"For the price of a couple of magazines, you can get your Blogger or
YouTube page on a .nz - your own gossip column or tv station" explains
Clark.
