I know that big companies don't give a shit about hits and can brand the name.

What you don't get is that they can also brand any fucking name!!

Google.com didn't mean shit until a company branded it and they didn't rely on buying some "cool" sounding name with 3 letters.

Neither did yahoo, or youtube or thehun or blacksonblondes and last but not least mydaughtersfuckinganigga.com

But somebody fucked up and relied on Go.com

Pop.com is a good name too, but too bad they thought the name itself was enough. The only hits on pop.com are probably from employees who have manditory viewing imposed on them.
