This was something we considered when we decided to consult with a branding expert. We wanted something entirely brandable. By this I mean, something quick and easy, yet relative/descriptive and something that can be trademarked. These were all factors that went into the name change and should be taken into account for any business naming opportunities. What a great question Dennis.

The USPTO rejected the name saying the words "briefing" and "wire" are "merely descriptive". So I'm wondering if 1) do you trademark the names of your domains and 2) do you consider this when searching for a name that speaks to your business and is highly marketable/palatable? <abbr><em>Dennis’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.briefingwire.com/pr/help-in-need-of-business-idea-for-xiptag.com" rel="nofollow">Help!

Worked with a branding strategist (www.satowstrategies.com) and really fine tuned our focus. Just needing to get different pieces of media finalized at this point!
