back in the day -- the early web days -- a site had to have a good name. a simple name, a name easily recognized, so it seemed. like the yellow pages, companies wanted names that surfers saw first. of course, if you could bookmark something -- or use a newsreader -- then who cares what the name is. and one could always search for the item on google if one had forgotten the name of the site. ...anyway, that's what i was thinking when i put the following list together: a list of companies featuring a single letter of the alphabet or a doubling of a single letter.

websites for single-letter domains from "a" to "p" and from "r" to "y" do not exist.
