    | Maybe as a Columbian ccTLD or .COM typo. I don't see many companies embracing it to mean "company". If I was not a domainer and saw a .CO on an advertisement I would just assume a typo was made and they meant .COM ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=573976 There will always be a handful of companies who embrace an extension to mean something other than it actually is. Some doctors/hospitals use .MD (Moldova) like Indy.MD However, that amount of end users is not enough to support much of a reseller market. Brad

| Pretty simple to understand. .COM is the most popular extension in the world by a landslide. "Sorry, we can't find "www.yahoo.co". Did you mean www.yahoo.com?" Even a search engine thinks you are looking for the .COM .CO.UK is one of the most popular ccTLD in the world, of course people would not type COM.UK. CO.UK is a highly established extension that is widely known unlike .CO Brad
---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ---------- Yeah and if .CO was launched 20 years ago we might have a different outcome. But it wasn't. Brad

| I am not saying .CO has no value, but it is not a game changer. The terms that will have the most value are going to be the generics with typo traffic just like .CM The difference here is .CO is a viable ccTLD as well, unlike .CM You see this type of excitement with any new extension. I just don't see the "Company" hack aspect really getting much traction with end users. Brad

| .CO has potential and I strongly believe it will have success, but it will not replace .COM. Big companies will get their .CO and forward to .COM. But for sure it is worth registering some nice generics, as they might have spill over traffic from the .COM and local type in traffic from Colombia.

| .co will be perceived as no more than a .com typo by the general public for quite some time. People are used to seeing .com everywhere, how can we expect it will be huge? Despite this, I still think it has some potential though.

| Maybee $0 If people in the uk see "example.co" they will automaticaly type example.co.uk instead < they will just think it's a typo/mistake.

...for now...I really think we'll be "singing a different song" soon, though...but yes, it could be flop! ... The one thing that makes this extension "more significant" right off the bat is the size of the country it stands for...Colombia has over 45 million people (29th largest world population!)...it no Montenegro | ||||

   | I have a few keywords on preorder but it's certain they will be subject to auctions. So my total allocated budget might actually amount to $0. I don't want to waste money in bidding wars (especially bidding against people who have no clue). (*) Now it's possible that in the aftermath the auctions we will see some quick flip sales here and there. Good deals could still take place after the dust has settled. I want to stress that I will go after Spanish generic keywords, or keywords that are otherwise fit for the local market. .co will be valid in Columbia no matter what. Trying to market .co as an alt extension to the rest of the world is quite another matter (hint: many domainers will be disappointed). ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=573976 I don't even think that .co will perform as well as .me/.tv. Because the proximity with .com will be a source of confusion for non-savvy Internet users. That's what people need to understand, for a TLD to thrive, a certain amount of critical mass must be attained. The critical mass will be there in Columbia because, like other countries, they will embrace their extension. They already have, with .com.co. For the rest of the world, it's yet another vanity extension. (*) It is quite funny that newbies are so desperate, they are looking for the second coming of .com in every new TLD launch, and they are blind to the bargains that are available to them every day. There are here, right in front of you.
