I've got 1 but in Dutch
Bierwereld.blog (beer world)

I'm a Belgian brewer and beer sommelier so I think I'm just going to put up a blog with my tasting notes.

I tried to register 6 names.
I got the 3 Dutch names I wanted.
I got ThaiFood.blog
Thailandtravel.blog is now on auction so I wasnt the only one.

And Trump.blog seems to be a mystery..........
When I preregisterd it was priced at reg fee, although Clinton.blog and Obama.blog were both premium. So I guessed that they were no Trump lovers at Wordpress.
But now it didnt go to auction and I didnt seem to get it, so now I guess they suddenly became Trump lovers at Wordpresss after all......

You're not the only one. Wordpress seems to reserved a lot of keywords for them to keep.

$27.99 at goodaddy. I see the few for my geographic area are gone. Any chance an end user would get a deal is gone. It's just another extension to me. I keep thinking if .net failed, why won't the new ones.
Except .xyz.lol

Same thing happen to Chris, when he tried to pre-register "chris.blog" domain. I can't find his link for reference.

It is of no worth unless you want it for a specific reason

All keywords are reserved and even the low volume keywords are showing 10000 $ a year

Not a good way to start for them

In the current situation where a blog is one of the basic types of websites, maybe even the most common type of website, I wouldn't say the word "blog" is outdated. As a phenomenon, blogging might have seen its heyday but the word "blog", both as a noun & verb, isn't going anywhere any time soon IMO.

Edit: Not that I like the extension...

Could be a good use for redirect? Don't you think?

Okay, it's only for forwarding URLs
