Vanity and narrow

A long, technical label for a giant industry that already has its brands; niche marketing use at best, little resale value.

The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.

.solarstrong parallel
delegated 2013 · live

Same bet: a single technology-manufacturing sector's own category noun, where the registrants are the fabs, suppliers and integrators of that sector putting their trade identity on the string rather than a mass-market audience.

.connectorsmoderate
never delegated

Same narrow B2B hardware-component category noun aimed at the electronics supply chain, betting that component makers and distributors will identify by the part class they sell — differing mainly in that it names a product rather than an industry.

uncontested · scored 12* in 2012

.equipmentmoderate
delegated 2013 · live

Also a generic industrial-category noun whose plausible registrants are manufacturers and distributors rather than consumers, but it is a far broader catch-all than a single named technology sector, so the vertical-identity pull is weaker.

uncontested · scored 32* in 2012 · run by Corn Station, LLC

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
