.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[ZOX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

Yes, it's good to have a strong libido. It will serve you well in all you endeavours.

Nutritional facets, I think that's taking things a bit too seriously, hmmmm?

...absolutely right...enjoy...

Just a bunch of paranoia, IMO.

Paranoia is a mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions. Investing or developing in this extension without a thorough understanding of ccTLD is un-willful ignorance. IMO.

hahahaahah! not a fan of science, eh? let me guess...Republican and sad that Michelle Bachmann has dropped out of the running?

That could be news from any inner city in the world. If someone wants to find something, they will find it. It depends on intention. Birds of a feather flock together.

Where did you come up with that psycho-babble? There is no "systemization" with paranoia. It's emotionally based. You seem to be referring to neuroticism which is characterized by systemic, nervous delusions carried out in a repetitive manner. Sounding eloquent at the expense of fact is not such a good practice. There is no such thing as "unwillful ignorance". Not only is it redundant but bombastic as well.

Fear-mongering reeks of paranoia. If everything is going to the crapper, as you so "eloquently" suggest, you won't mind me taking your domains off your hands for $5 since they will be obviously worthless to you. PM me and we can get 'er done.

Don't smear campaigners have anything better to do with their time? Such cheap tactics...

BTW, if you are from the US and believe you live in the "safest" place in the world, think again. Canada is considered a "safe" place but living there can tell you a different story.

No, it doesnt. There IS a difference between silicon and silicone AND there exists actually a Silicone Valley already:

Exactly.

Exactly.

I'd say that will be a nice sale for a non-product, non-social domain.

 

[MeanMrMustard]

nope...living there is the same story

You'll have to clarify that. I can't make out what you are saying in response to my post..

Anything interesting guys?

Not much it would seem. :blink:

The only news I can bring here is that a very persistent low-baller came for Pisces.co at Sedo :D

I did think the person was from NP. Can't be too sure. (You can own up via PM lol)

I see the owner of MegaUpload changed his surname to Dotcom. Any of the .CO Veterans willing to do something similar, like use the surname Dotco? :D


Adios .Cowboys and girls

:wave:

 

[emjohn]

So what was the offer you got on Pisces.co?

It's interesting because you seem to get quite a few offers on that one.

AccidentClaims.co currently at Sedo auction $1000 (to moderators: not mine)

 

[Keith]

I'm thinking this extention could fade away after the registry auction at Sedo. My prediction is that very few domains will sell. The registry could avoid catastrophe if they choose to move their inventory along the lines of .tv. Dot TV even had the balls to auction off loads of 2 character domains at no reserve. Now they will collect yearly renewals for the long haul.

The .co registry fails to see the upside of generating renewal income. Instead, they're hoping to get big paydays on individual names which spells trouble IMO.

What auction are you talking about? Anyway I don't think so, my personal opinion is that the total number of .CO registrations will grow very slowly but steadily, but nothing compared to .com of course.

Sorry I guess it's not auction format but the domains are listed at http://sedo.co/

The prices are way too high. Doom and gloom for .co with this approach. A superbowl commercial from godaddy isn't going to help either. This is classic .mobi IMO.
