Various Reasons Put your Name on CenturyNameMuseum.com

To honor yourself in life;
To honor the memory of a loved one;
To commemorate the outstanding ones of your family;
To commemorate the outstanding ones of the society;
To be respected and remarkable by your kindness, goodness, courage, contribution, honesty, etc;
To bundle your name with your thought and leave them to the public;
To bundle your name with your company's logo, so called name ads, this will bring you much credits;
To hold a permanent ads parking space, recorded by the history and internet......

Time always fades our memory, especially those who helped others and not famous, but CenturyNameMuseum.com won't.

Why high price?
At the beginning, it was very difficult to make a price for name links on CenturyNameMuseum.com. In fact, per Half Name was priced at 19$ and 9$ per Full Name when I completed my web.
But I noted that anybody could buy up the names of famous people and hold them for ransom or set a link to the contents that was intended to insult and slander, etc., and to avoid the above, I think a higher price would be helpful. Because I do not want to check everyone's identity before they buy and won't involve me in any dispute. I am a peaceful man ;-)
Also, I think my web may attract advertisers, because if you pay once then can hold a name link for life. For an advertiser, you can put the name of company's creator into logo. This would bring more credits to you and your company, and I think it is an interesting ads type.
At last, per Half Name was priced at 399$ and 199$ per Full Name. For individuals, this may be price out of the market, but for companies, it is cheap.
And I always open the door for those individuals who run benevolent orgs. On CenturyNameMuseum.com, there has only one criterion to put people's name link for free and including designing free logo, that's kindness, goodness, courage, contribution, etc.
What I decide to do is always for the purpose of long term running

CenturyNameMuseum.com's Philosophy

For the purpose of long-term running, a creative website should not only try to earn money from the society by the creative marketing idea, but also assume some social responsibilities. And then seek more creative ideas from the social responsibilities. Sometimes, the social responsibilities may mean potential consumption demands.

And at the beginning of launch a web, if you try to think your web's or your social responsibilities, although I know it may be very difficult because not every business idea will bring profits and many people are utilitarian, thinking your social responsibilities will let your ideas and your web go much farther. As you konw, many successful stories came from vision and persistence, and a belief supported web or business ideas could give you much persistence.

As my web's name means, I also have to find a standoff. That's why I launched the program of "Free for Benevolence". We should especially remember the people who helped others, such as the 343 firefighter heroes ran to danger in order to help others and lost their lives on 911. They are not famous, but we should remember and honor them for their courage, strength, and commitment.

And on CenturyNameMuseum.com, there has only one criterion to put people's name link for free and including designing free logo, that's kindness, goodness, courage, contribution, etc. Or less you should spend money to own your name. And limited ads should be useful. That's fair.

I began to seek the 343 firefighters' photos and will record their name on CenturyNameMuseum.com. Although this will take me much times and efforts, I think I should undertake this work.

Time always fades our memory, especially those who helped us and not famous, but CenturyNameMuseum.com won't.

CenturyNameMuseum.com:Pay Attention to Your Name; Find out Who Will Buy It from Us

As a creative idea, I am very eager to let more people know and understand it, and very glad to hear any comment and will explain my idea in depth. Such as on Chris' blog --"The Last First Place I'd Send My Money".

Rather than keep using Chris' posting space, I thought it would be better to send your comment on my blog :)

The Last First Place I'd Send My Money

For just $199, CenturyNameMuseum.com"Your Last Place on the Internet!"will keep your full name on the Internet in perpetuity. Why you would want your name on the Internet in perpetuity isn't explained, but anything that costs that much must be worthwhile.

For $399 you can buy your "Half Name","first, middle, or lastand attach any information you like to it (up to 500KB), and a link to your website. Thinking genealogically, you could buy up the surnames of your ancestors and link to your one-name genealogy studies. Less genealogically, you could buy up the names of famous people and hold them for ransom.

So far, proprietor Rinchen Puntsok of Tibet hasn't sold a name yet, but uses the names of a couple of friends as examples. He is looking for investors, but realizes that not everyone will understand his vision.

I am now seeking somebody who assents to my view in the world. Of course, I know it may be very difficult, so I have prepared to deal with anything myself for long-term running. But currently, what I can do is only talking up like this -"pay attention to your name; find out who will buy it from us" [Link]

Update: After reading the comments Rinchen Puntsok has made in response to this post, you'll understand why I have changed its title. I can't help but respect someone so good-natured and persistent as Rinchen, and encourage everyone reading this to follow his good advice: pay attention to your name.

The link is dead...

I think you broke him!

J
At 8:04 PM, Chris said...: The link is working now. And "Janice" is still available.
At 4:46 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Dear Chris,
I am the proprietor of the CenturyNameMuseum.com. Thank you for your pertinent comment. In order to answer your question I have to sign up an account :(
Why would you want your name on the Internet in perpetuity? It seems really a good question. But in fact, it all depends on your decision. It is all under your control.
The Internet always changes as well as the world and people's mind, so I want to build a website that can save unchangeable stuffs, which it's really impossible to discover. And I find that only people's name may be unchangeable. Then I designed and built CenturyNameMuseum.com and begin my first online business from scratch. I also have a complete plan for long-term running.
The realistic life just likes hotchpotch, as well as CenturyNameMuseum.com wants to be. For different buyers on CenturyNameMuseum.com (you think there may not appear), everyone has the same rights to be recorded by the history. And I am trying to maximize the function of people's name, using it as link ads, as honors, as goodness, as evils, as anything you want to.
You can visit faq page. You will find that if you are benevolent organizations, you can own your full name on CenturyNameMuseum For Free. I have updated the news on homepage for strikeing the eye. This can record part of hotchpotch, the goodness.
I hope the above could be my detailed answer to your question and also a explanation of my idea.
Glad to hear from you. And if you have chance to travel to Tibet and China, I am also glad to give you some advice. :)
At 6:40 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: 1. Why would you want your name on the Internet in perpetuity?

If you want to use name as ads link, as honor link , as goodness link , as evil link, and only for record your family history or want your contents, URL to be associated with your name, you could put your name on centurynamemuseum.com.

2. Thinking genealogically, you could buy up the surnames of your ancestors and link to your one-name genealogy studies. Less genealogically, you could buy up the names of famous people and hold them for ransom.

To avoid the above, every name is high-priced, $399 or $199.
At 6:47 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Hello Chris ,
I am very happy to hear your comment. If you still have questions, let me know.
Life is just a try, so I try to make my odd idea to real web.
:-)
At 1:05 PM, Chris said...: I appreciate your mission for one simple reason: I too am a man with odd ideas just trying to convince the world of his sanity. No luck yet.
At 2:10 PM, Janice said...: Chris,

Folks who say "I'm sane" are the ones you need to watch out for, hehe.

I can never get to the century museum site. I think by the time I go to look, they've exceeded their bandwidth limit. If I stayed up until 3:30 a.m., like some people I know, maybe I'd be able to visit too :D

At 6:05 PM, Chris said...: I accidentally set all my clocks to Tibet time.
At 8:34 PM, centurynamemuseum said...: Janice,
"I can never get to the century museum site. I think by the time I go to look, they've exceeded their bandwidth limit. "
Could you please tell me where you are?

I will slove this problem. You may be blocked by our ISP. you may need a proxy: http://www.centurynamemuseum.com
At 10:42 PM, centurynamemuseum said...: Chris ,
"I appreciate your mission for one simple reason: I too am a man with odd ideas just trying to convince the world of his sanity. No luck yet."

Hehe. Chris, would you like to own your full name on CenturyNameMuseum For Free or just own a full name?
Because of your frankness and the first commenter , I'd like to share my idea with you. If you like, you can design a logo that a full name should be in it, less than 20K, I have increased the space of disk. Your content should be less than 2M, or tell me your blog URL or you website. You can do it just like a buyer.
Of course, you can sing up any name of any famous people and hold it for ransom.It depends on you.
Try my idea, you may find something interesting.
At 10:54 PM, centurynamemuseum said...: The news:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/4/prweb369344.htm
At 11:33 PM, Janice said...: Century Museum owner, thank you for the proxy link, as it allowed me to visit your web site.

To answer your question, I'm located on the east coast U.S.A.

Janice
At 12:28 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Janice,
If you are on the east coast U.S.A. You can visit my site.
My Tibetan name is Rinchen Puntsok (Chinese name is Yu Wei), and I am much happier that you can call me Rinchen.
I am very surprised at your desire that visit my website.
As a gift, you also can own your full name or a full name on CenturyNameMuseum.com For free just like Chris, if you hope.

I won't give full name for free unless you are benevolent organizations. But you and Chris are exceptive. Hehe,I do not know why I made this decision.
Janice, do it like a Full Name owner. But you should be quick before I change my mind. :-)
At 12:57 AM, Janice said...: Rinchen,

Thank you for the offer. Actually I recently gave up a domain that I owned that used my name. I still own several domains, so honestly I don't need another one, but you are very kind to offer.

I am a bit curious about your advertising. "Just $399, own your Half Name Forever" Realizing that you are Buddhist, doesn't that conflict just a little bit with the philosophy of impermanence? :)

Janice
At 1:26 AM, Chris said...: Rinchen, you have won me over. I hope that your site becomes as successful and famous as the Million Dollar Homepageâ€”another venture that required vision and persistence. I also appreciate your support for benevolent organizations.

You are very generous to offer my own name, but I would like to suggest something else. I wonder if you could register the name "Jimmy Carter" and link to Habitat for Humanity (http://www.habitat.org). This is a benevolent organization that I support, and President Carter deserves to have his name forever linked to its good works.
At 2:25 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Janice,
:-( you may not understand my idea completely. Could you please tell me all your domain names, your full name or any person's full name; I will design a simple logo with above info, and link to one of your active URLs. We can demonstrate whether this form of using of full is meaningful. OK?

I am not a real buddhist, only interested in buddhism philosophy.

And, I do not think there has conflict between the ads and the philosophy of impermanence.

Yes, anything material is impermanent actually, and permanence is always relative.

And I have been always finding something seems permanent, one day I realized that only people's name have this nature. Because a name may stand for something spiritual, an era or just a small potatoe. We always remember something with somebody.
Then CenturyNameMuseum.com wants to record the stories, urls... behind the people's name, not only name spelling.
"Just $399, own your Half Name Forever" also means that CenturyNameMuseum.com will be online long-term, no scam no fraud.
At 3:27 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Chris,
" I wonder if you could register the name "Jimmy Carter" and link to Habitat for Humanity (http://www.habitat.org). This is a benevolent organization that I support, and President Carter deserves to have his name forever linked to its good works."
I am doing what you told me now. You will see a logo sooner. And I also want to offer your own full name on my web For Free. If you like, tell me at any time.

Rinchen :-0
At 3:46 AM, Chris said...: Thanks, Rinchen! I am far too humble to ask for my own name, but thank you for including one of my favorite charities.

And best of luck in this new venture.
At 4:14 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: This post has been removed by the author.
At 4:18 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Chris,
Thank you for your wishes. Whaterve I meet, I will try my best to make centurynamemuseum.com a long-term runing.
In my mind, good deeds can not be treated simply as big or small. Any good deeds should deserve our praise.
That's also why I built centurynamemuseum.com. On my website, everyone has the equal rights to stand next to any famous people on the internet.
So, I will always open the door to you at any time.

:)
Could my site link to your blog, because we have talked much about my idea, and the philosophy of my site?
I'd like visitors can also share our talk.
At 7:06 AM, centurynamemuseum said...: Janice,
I am very glad to talk about buddhism with you. Can you get to the century museum site directly now? Not use proxy.
Could you please let me konw whether it works?
Thank you in advanced.

Rinchen
At 8:20 AM, Janice said...: Rinchen,

You can create your own blog (its free) by visiting http://www.blogger.com/home and then link it to your site. You are already logged in as centurynamemusuem, which is perfect.

I give you permission to copy any of my comments that you'd like to your own blog. I'm going to send you an email so that we can free up Chris's blog for his own purposes.

And yes, I can visit your web site fine now without the proxy.

Janice
