The Web
MEMORANDUM
TO: Marketing Department Staff
SUBJECT: New Web Site Domain Names
We have just registered three new domain names, which we shall
use for the new Web sites we are building for the new juice
product, Joosey Juice. The domain names we have registered are
jooseyjuice.com, jooseyjuice.biz, and jooseyjuice.net. We are also
considering registration of the domain name jooseyjuice.org for our
nonprofit sister company. Other extensions such as .mil (military),
.gov (government), and .edu (educational institution) are, of
course, not appropriate for us.
The Web sites will have approximately 20 Web pages each. The
sites will have a substantial number of links to other sites for
nutrition education, fun and games for young children, and plant
science, particularly regarding fruit trees. Furthermore, each site
will include a page for staff news and updates. The URL for the
staff page on jooseyjuice.com will be
http://www.jooseyjuice.com/staffupdates.
