“Cribl” originates from the noun “cribble,” defined as an instrument with a meshed or perforated bottom, typically used for gold panning. It functions to strain valuable material from discardable matter, highlighting the company’s focus on filtering and extracting valuable data from vast and varied information sources, much like separating gold from gravel.
The company launched on Cribl.io, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the British Indian Ocean Territory. While “.io” has gained popularity among technology, gaming, and start-up firms due to its association with the tech acronym “IO” (input/output), it also has its downsides. Country code extensions like “.io” are not always recognised as widely or trusted as traditional domains like “.com,” which can impact a company’s credibility and accessibility. They can also sometimes create confusion about a company’s geographic location or market focus.
Acknowledging these challenges, Cribl has wisely invested in acquiring the Exact Brand Match (EBM) domain Cribl.com, which redirects to Cribl.io. This move enhances the company’s professional image, builds greater trust, and makes it easier for users to find and remember the brand.
