I find this very interesting, indeed. Having declared repeatedly for the last several years that 3D would revolutionize entertainment the way sound revolutionized movies, the powers that be in Hollywood are showing extraordinary determination to make it so. This is why the comparisons to voip and other tech-head, next-big-thing technologies don't hold water: The major conglomerates and some of the biggest filmmakers in Hollywood are betting the farm on 3D. They are making it the new standard. 3D stuff will be flying off the shelves come Christmastime. There is no turning back.
Having said that, I do believe that the majority of 3D names that are being registered will go nowhere and that it makes absolutely no sense to slap "3D" onto the back of random keywords and think that'll make you a millionaire. And I completely understand the folks on this thread who have a reflexive negative reaction to the hysteria and want to throw water on it to tamp it down. Even I want to do that, and I've got a nice-sized portfolio of 3D names.
Here is why 3D domains will be huge and profitable.
What makes 3D such a big thing is the fact that the viewer will have to pay full attention to the movie, advertisement or website they are looking at. Whatever they are watching they will be looking for the next thing flying at them or the next cool effect. 3D is a mind buzz its not for the casual viewer. I remember seeing U2 in 3D and I will tell you I was looking all over that screen to see the littlest thing. The ending of that show was better than the entire concert and everyone walked out because they thought it was over. I wanted see every inch and I'm glad I stayed to the end it was a 3D masterpiece.
When a 3D website is going to be built it's not going to be just slapped together a company is going to have to build a 100 - 200 thousand dollar mind experience. When one company produce's it and gets to market first just like Avatar the rest of the companies will follow right along.
Consumers will have to know that what they are about to click on is going to be a 3D experience so it must have 3D in the domain. If a consumer is not into 3D then that companies 2D website will be there for them. Once revenues from 3D websites show 10 percent increases or higher every domain name will be snatched up. Right now its a wait and see game but soon this will change, The new LED HD 3D TVS that are internet ready through wifi will be a showcase for these 3D websites that you are going to see , This will be The New Internet. These websites will be there own 3D channels instead of websites even though they are coming through the internet.
I think new investment dollars will come and come quick when this thing starts to go,
Don't think every company is going to just keep there domain and add a slash they will advertise JoeBlow3d.com to make it easier for consumers to find the sites. If you have not already seen Apple has received a patent for its new 3D Virtual World Web and once that kicks off and YouTube3D kicks off its all over.
I can see a TOYO Tire buying tires3d.com for easy search, hey are you going to google to put in TOYO or tires ? If you see tires3D.com are you going to say gee 3D tires what's that and boom the company will see traffic like no other. Just the curiousity factor alone will be enough for all 3D domains to flurish
Get your domains ready.
Do not sell for 300 bucks wait it out drive the prices UP
