.CO - The OFFICIAL Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread - Page 310

IMO s.co is neither good or bad for .co as a whole. It's really just a neat asset and potential marketing tool for the new owner. If you think s.co will help the extention, just look at the 1 character .co that amazon obtained. You never hear of them anywhere and probably never will.

Btw, I believe Apple owns I.am. When's the last time you seen that extention doing anything spectacular?

Keith, you are good at biting the hand that feeds you so I deliver this with caution:

type in a.co

type in a.co

It redirects to amazon.com which is exactly my point. We in the domain world know we can type a.co for quick access to amazon but the general public doesn't know that. I praise overstock for giving o.co a real chance to succeed. As of now it doesn't appear that the strategy of changing to o.co worked but at least the general public had exposure.

Anyhow, .co doesn't feed me. Experience and persistence on the other hand...

Some extensions are fine for URL shorteners, redirects or domain hacks.
But end users would never use them as primary domains. Because they know better.
That's the way it is.

Even if they paid 6 figures, it doesn't change things. Unless they advertise the domains heavily.

Some have and do. Many entrepreneurs who are actually website builders don't really care.

I had an inquiry the other day from a decent sized clothing company.
I asked how they heard about .co and they said a few of their suppliers use them.

They were inquiring about the 1st word in their name .co

Jerry Siegel is my husband, and he doesn't own S.co.

Seriously, though, the Jerry Siegel of Superman fame is deceased and actually received very little compensation for his and Shuster's creation of Superman.

And, yes, my husband's name IS Jerry Siegel, which causes quite a bit of discussion when people first meet him.

He's a sweetie, but has absolutely 0 artistic talent, though he is smart and funny.

Yes, that is true.

But all were low ballers/ domain name callers.

If anyone's interested they should check out Frank Shilling's .co portfolio at domainnamesales.com/name-search

He has tons of .co and many great ones. I'm sure he has a couple thousand there.

I should add this: Are all the domains for sale there his?
