A Bitcoin Address "DNS"
A friend who's brand new to Bitcoin handed me a tiny piece of paper yesterday. He said, "Here's my Bitcoin address." It contained his Bitcoin address in about 6 point type, printed on paper.
I smiled and handed it back to him. Obviously, he hadn't TIT, as I always say (Think It Through.... or Thought It Through).
A Better Idea for BitcoinAddress.com
I thought of this idea just now...
Adding a shorthand nickname to the BitcoinAddress.com directory.... and it be sorted by that.
So, if I go by "plankhead" all over the internet, I can be listed as plankhead on BitcoinAddress.com
This way, people could potentially prA int on their business card...

Bitcoin: plankhead
By default, I would give people (1) their top level domain - like eff or epicchange - or (2) their bitcoin forum handle - brucewagner
Not sure how I'll handle other requests. Perhaps a registration fee that goes entirely to the Bitcoin Foundation, to be used for Bitcoin promotion, advertising, and evangelizing.
