All of my websites have a domain name of its own.  Ever since I read about the article from CMSWire, I have been wondering if a web presence can survive without a domain name.  There has been a lot of people saying that it is possible to have a website of its own where we can operate without a domain name.

It is always advisable for any one of you to have a domain name simply because of branding.  Having a common name consistently in the social media is a necessary step so that your social media users will be able to identify you wherever you go.

The start of a new case study

I decided to start a new web presence about Android phone tips since I have just bought myself a HTC Desire.

Tools used:

1. Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Android-Phone-Tips/140369539324334)
2. Twitter account (http://twitter.com/androidphonetip)
3. Tumblr (http://androidphonetips.tumblr.com/)

This is a case study that I will use to understand myself how a website can operate without a domain name of its own.  I will want to see how far this android phone tips can go, and to see how much value it will bring to the world of Internet.

Different brand names

In this case study, you will notice that I have not consistently put in the same branding. i.e. “Android Phone Tips”.  Instead, it has 2 different brand names of their own.  One very obvious reason is that I have not been able to get the same consistency name across the three platforms.  Twitter cannot take in the whole name as “AndroidPhoneTips” because there is character limit.

If you are an Android phone user, do support my small little android project!
