It will be impossible to find on Google. Also, I'm wondering if it a good choice for such a project to use the hipster '.io' domain regarding the risk in a near future with this domain name.

Probably .im might not be available

Feel like I'm missing something important here. What's happening with .io?

Agree, it would of been better to focus on a name where getting the .com was feasible. At least element is better than riot.

In addition with management issue, the biggest issue/risk with .io is related to the fact the domain might have to come back Mauritius in a short term/few years as UK ownership of the related islands are unlawful: http://domainincite.com/24236-future-of-io-domains-has-becom...
