Do Domain Names Even Matter Anymore?

Same as they always have:

They offer curb appeal, instilling a sense that "this will be good" even before you get in for a ride: Cars.tld? I'll take it.
They offer street cred, the wow factor: LosAngeles.tld? I'll take it.
They lower upfront costs of branding a name/domain to a service/product: Diamonds.tld? I'll take it.
They come equipped with built in traffic: News.tld? I'll take it.
They have an easier time capturing repeat visits: Sex.tld? I'll take it.
They facilitate word of mouth referrals: History.com? I'll take it.

Anyone who says an industry defining domain isn't an asset that can yield steady dividends is full of Bologna.com [Bologna.com].
