New TLD's coming Mid-2008

"New Internet addresses for general use could start appearing in the summer of 2008"

"This is all about choice," ICANN Chief Executive Paul Twomey said in a statement. "We want the diversity of the world's people, geography and business to be able to be represented in the domain name system."

imagine if you only knew about how much a .com was going to be worth you would have bought one. domains are really only new to all of us. you used to just be able to get it for free. so domain will only increase in value if they are good ones. I say new extensions are a good thing for the internet and for it's growth. I say ICANN keep them coming.

New extensions are pointless and simply a moneygrab for ICANN and the lucky few who can grab the best names in the opening minutes. There's no point to most of the extensions ICANN keeps rolling out -- .museum, .aero, .name... Seriously, WTF?

I say its a money train for ICANN, less so for registrars but its still there, bad for domainers in general, very bad for established websites and extremely bad for people sitting on extensions that may or may not sell.

How can more extensions possibly increase the value of existing extensions, it just gives more possible products not less to sell or be found. I think they are going to cripple any chance .mobi or any .specific extension has of doing well, besides the usual, .top level country ext and .international extensions, which I think all these unwarranted extensions will only add value to top level .com's for example. They need to take their time which they will never do only seeing dollar signs, sad but true.

Five years from now when the market is flooded with '.pointless extension here', people will be looking long and hard at ICANN's handling of releasing so many in such a short period.

Mike · 05-15-2007, 11:01 AM

if they feel like releasing new extensions, i vote for .BS, then i can register
ICANN.BS

HiSoC8Y · 05-15-2007, 11:10 AM

i think the more they release extensions, the more .com, .net and .org are valuable.

mattonline · 05-22-2007, 10:18 AM

Everytime new extensions are released, the leakages to .com increases.

So when an owner of a domain name with a new extension promotes their new name "domain.boo", the owner of "domain.com" will enjoy up to 35% to 45% of leaking advertising traffic coming from that new extension.

I have personally watched friends and family put ".com" on everything no matter how well I've spelled out "domain dot boo" they will just put in "domain.boo.com" or domain.com... ALL THE TIME lol

so keep'em coming!

more UDRPs and money to UDRPs, more "domainers" crying about losing TMed domains, more TM holders crying because they did not do the sunrise properly (if at all), more false TMs to gain generic domains, more fake beluxe (sp) TM registrations, more domaineers crying they didnt get good domains...

mattonline · 05-29-2007, 02:18 PM
