Just looking for opinions on domaining in general and thoughts on how mainstream it is. I live in the UK which would be considered (but maybe not after next year!) a prospering first world nation but domaining wouldn't be a topic of conversation for people or when mentioned most probably would need it explained to them (or worse...they would assume that it is cybersquatting/illegal in all cases).
I guess I thought that by now kids/teenagers would be picking up domains like we collected stickers or whatever! I suppose any chance of that is killed by the price of .coms but you can get other domains like .info's etc cheaply. I suppose not having something tangible or at least to show off to your friends is a factor in that but theres a lot of budding entrepreneurs out there who you'd expect to be showing interest.
Maybe most aren't aware of the possibilities but I guess I expected it to be more high profile by this stage.
