news Replica Domains on "The New Internet"? Squatters?

[Silentptnr]

It continues to aggravate me every time domain investors are characterized as "squatters". This morning I read an interesting article about something called "The New Internet". In the article, two things caught my eye....

Businesses and individuals/communities looking to purchase a domain on The New Internet, as well as the internet domain market overall, will benefit from the security of the platform due to the authenticated nature of all users. Here's how:

• Businesses - Since all users on The New Internet are authenticated, businesses know who are really visiting their sites, granting access to more accurate analytics about their online customers without having to worry about bots skewing results of online ads and more.
• Individuals and Communities - In addition to enhanced site analytics, security and pricing, individuals and communities have the added benefit of unique and creative expression when choosing their domain and extension -- for example, "first name.last name" style options offer a more personal way to market yourself and group.
• The Domain Market - Current domain owners on the "old internet" have the chance to purchase their domain name on The New Internet as well. Authenticated Reality is also addressing the issue of domain squatting by allowing the purchase of domains on The New Internet that are currently parked by squatters on the old internet.

"When we heard that The New Internet was opening domain names on the platform, we saw this as a great opportunity...

Not sure how they plan to do this, but it sounds weird. What do you think of this whole idea?

Here's a link to the full article:

Gee, I would be willing to bet I could find a picture of a fake (or real) drivers license online. Then I just need to create a Social login. Yep, it's that secure that you can't use a fake persona.

Is it sponsored by HugeDomains?

Seriously? Did you see that somewhere?

No. I would just expect them to catch the dropping domains.

lol

 

[CJ6]

lol

If they were partial owners, then there would be NO competition and they could keep the domains forever. (Brilliant, actually, although possibly a monopoly.)

people stop using the term "squatters".

Domain Name Investment (doesn't exist in economic education) vs Domain Name Trade, Exchange and Interdependence.

Investor - putting money into a business or project to make more money.

DN Realtor?
DN Jobber?

We better squat on it real fast before they register it for legitimate business!!

By the way, who owns the land your house sits on? What about the person before him? The government sold all the land and we buy and sell the properties after the fact. Domain Names are Domain Properties, if you want a million dollar property then you have to be prepared to pay for it.... period.

So if I understand this right the new internet are the new gTLD's?

 

[Lox]

Domain Names are Domain Properties

Internet / Web Property is your website - presence. The Domain name is just the name that represent all kinds of things/properties. You are a renter.

No, it's this website that has their own Internet, I think. I don't freakin know. It's confusing to me.

 

[CJ6]

Internet / Web Property is your website - presence. The Domain name is just the name that represent all kinds of things/properties. You are a renter.

And if you don't pay your taxes, the property you "own" gets taken away. (Real estate and domains)

 

[Ali]

They probably thought this would revolutionize the internet (within the internet). But really, it's just another stupid idea that won't stick.

So how does one surf the 'new internet'?

 

[JB Lions]

Confusing as hell, watched a few videos. Heard about downloading some browser.

Watched this video -

more videos - https://vimeo.com/user38247927

Didn't know FB cloning was an issue and then people would need to download some browser? That hasn't worked in the past. Reminds of of late 90's/early 2000's internet.

Can't figure out the point to any of it. Download browsers and then "real-time validation via driver's license" Give up your driver's license? People generally aren't jumping thru those kind of hoops.
Failure written all over it.

 

[Ali]

Confusing as hell

That's putting it lightly.

 

[Silentptnr]

This explains it a little better...

Seems you can have anything you want left or right of the dot. Just have to use their browser.

 

[Silentptnr]

Don't know if I like this...

People can register a domain name in the system that match their existing domain.

They can also register existing domains owned by others that are parked. Chris Ciabarra, co-founder of Authenticated Reality, told Domain Name Wire that these domains can be activated on The New Internet and the buyers can resell them, splitting profits with Authenticated Reality.

Of course, having one domain name resolve to different sites depending on your browser will cause more confusion, whereas Authenticated Reality’s stated goal is to bring authentication to the internet.

Sounds like some kind of get rich quick scheme or something.

 

[Julio]

Lets say someone in the new internet can create/buy Books.com then sell the FAKE domain to someone else in there?

Since the real books.com redirects to barnes and noble.

 

[Ali]

Sounds like some kind of get rich quick scheme or something.

Sounds like he didn't have anyone with any wits around him when he was "developing" this "new" internet to tell him what an awful idea it was..

 

[robert widener]

i'll have to read the article in the link , thanks for posting .

 

[Silentptnr]

Sounds like he didn't have anyone with any wits around him when he was "developing" this "new" internet to tell him what an awful idea it was..

Lol...he didnt at all. Just a bunch of people telling him what a cool idea. I bet his own family wouldnt want to put their ids on there.

 

[Ali]

Right? He's basically created a new browser that you can leave comments in and be "authenticated" by and purchase fake domain names from. Worst of all, he dropped $14k on the domain TheNewInternet.com... Like c'mon bro... for real? Shaking my head the hardest I've shook it in a long time.

 

[Silentptnr]

Imagine its successful. Original domains would get tons of free traffic. How could anyone advertise those domains? Acquisition costs are already sky high and he thinks people will motivated enough to use a special software? Hard enough to get people to go to regular sites let alone use special software, upload id's and all that jazz. Only domainers go through all that to register domains.

Right? It's so silly... someone with that much technical background should understand this already. Has he even considered email addresses? It's bad enough that you have tell your customers to go to Pets.com on a specific browser if they want to shop at the fake pets.com.., but only after you authenticate yourself and leave some comments in the useless sidebar that takes up 30% of the screen, but please don't email @Pets.com because it's not a real domain name, but instead - email us at [email protected]... like huh? What? Why? I so confuuuuused! What a waste of time, money, and code.
