.TV overtaking other extensions.
If one searches Google for indexed sites with a particular TLD, it is apparent that .TV is catching up, and fast.

Today's "site:.(tld)" search yielded these results:

.biz = 21 million sites
.tv = 18 million sites
.cc = 8 million sites
.mobi = 4 million sites
.name = 2.3 million sites

A few months ago, .tv was lagging behind by a wide margin. Now it looks like the total number of .tv sites will pass .biz very soon.

Great News, i would expect .tv's stats to jump greatly in the next few months as more & more me.tv sites get indexed and a lot of the .tv's that are in development get completed.

Everything is lookiing positive for .tv, growing stronger each day!!

The Google numbers show just the number of active .tv sites on the web.

There must be millions more that have been registered, and are waiting for development or are parked - so I can assume that you could easily add a couple more million to the .tv figure.

Yea, but the same could be said for all the other extension so the comparison is a wash.

Thanks! I'm also very excited that Myspace appears to be preparing to use MYSPACE.TV for the address of Myspace Television (details in the Industry News section.)

Things are certainly looking up!

If Myspace will use the .tv extension for Myspace Television, then it would be a perfect time to open a bottle of Champagne
(or having a few beers all at once)

although it would surprise me if a well settled .com company will use the .tv extension, but if they do, it would have a great impact.

There is evidence that this transition has already started. Go to MYSPACE.TV and browse the site, then go to MYSPACETV.COM and browse the site.

Also, notice the logo on the right with the apparent TV extension?

PhilM is an unknown quantity at this point
nice news.. .mobi is a very small window imo.. futurists have already show how the mobile network is going.. basically you will talk via you jewellery or even now they have a working model of an inbuilt "cyborg" inplant in the hand.... Technical advancements will make mobi worthless, but good ole TV will be there for eternity.. however you look at TV, we will be visually looking at a video display of some sort for ever... Im glad I only have 1 .mobi.

It is impressive but just as impressive is the .biz #s. I wouldn't have guessed that high of a number.

We already have "Lift Off". When .tv "comes close" to .org, we will have "The Eagle Has Landed".

I don't see what you're talking about. I don't see MySpace.tv anywhere on the site. Please clarify.

These are my observations:

1. Myspace is using MYSPACE.TV to direct visitors to the Myspace Television website.

2. They are using a method that does not re-route visitors to another domain even after lengthy navigation of the website.

3. The site administrators have placed a graphic in the upper right-hand portion of the home page that contains the text "MYSPACETV" with the "TV" portion in smaller letters. At first glance, this could be mistaken for a TLD extension.

This "may" be indicative of a strategy to slowly transition to the full adoption of MYSPACE.TV for their Television website.

Hope this helps.........
