With more than 4 billion cell phones in use worldwide, it's no wonder that "mobile" is all the rage. A recent segment of "American Idol" received nearly 80 million text message votes. The 2008 U.S. presidential candidates are incorporating mobile communications elements into their campaigns. Social networks such as MySpace and Twitter are starting to deploy mobile-friendly Web sites. Most mobile access is achieved via traditional methods such as wireless carrier "walled garden" decks, short codes, text messaging and often lengthy, convoluted sub-domains.

I have used a numeric domain for years, www.1903.com, selling military insignia and mainly aviation insignia. Why 1903, it was the first year of the Wright Brothers flight. What I have found is that my customers remember the site name for two resaons, one its short, two we remind them of what happend in 1903. Lets face it it is a lot easier to remember 1903 than Aviationwings or militaryinsignia.
