Domain Name Background Trick

A story about Shaan's creative attempt to promote his website during his CNBC television appearance.
"I tried to get this thing up for the CNBC appearance - I bought the domain 'thatdudeon.tv' because I thought if I get a chance to shout something out, my name would be too hard to spell - 'Shaan Puri' with two A's, no one's going to remember that.
So I got thatdudeon.tv, which redirects to my website, and I had it displayed on this flip board sign behind me during the interview. But then the TV guys were like 'Hey, we need you to move over to the middle,' and I was thinking 'Oh shit, it's going to block my sign.' They insisted I needed to be centered, so my whole plan didn't work out.
I haven't even had a chance to check if it got any traffic. This morning's been so busy - did the CNBC thing, took care of my daughter, then had to deal with this crazy situation with my wife's ecommerce store where there's theft going on in the warehouse."
