Corgan Understands Domain Names — Smashing Pumpkins’

Billy Corgan wants to get domain names ahead of announcing fresh projects.

What can major corporations such as Dell learn from Smashing Pumpkins rocker Billy Corgan? Secure your domain names ahead of announcing fresh products.

In a recent blog post, Corgan wrote that he’s working on a couple fresh bands and a solo project, but that he’s not spilling the beans until he secures the requisite domain names:

I have notions to start 2 other bands and also release some more solo work. I would love to get into more details on those projects but I would like to secure the domain names first since I don’t want to have to fight to get them back later.

Huh, imagine that. By buying the domain names ahead of people know what he’s up to, Corgan can expect to pay a lot less for them. If only Fortune 500 product launch teams could figure that out.
