Yeah, you quickly jumped at the bait
Didn't post on his blog, other people already took the nonsense apart over there.
"As a big .mobi fan this is just more confirmation that this TLD could be the next big thing in the Domaining world."
You can go read some of his other earlier predictions, will most likely wind up just like his ones on these newer gtlds.
Not sure if there is some mental block with some people in not understanding the difference between a neutral/generic extension like a .com, .net etc and niche extensions which can never compete, hence the low numbers. And the generic ones out so far, are horrible, xyz, link etc.
And his startup, just like over 70% of other new startups are on what extension? .com
"With close to 2,000 new domain extensions coming out I haven’t held back on sharing my opinion that the vast majority of these will fail."
That's what he said just 2 months ago. With:
"Sorry, the times they are a changing and just like people in the 90’s called Domainers crazy for thinking domain names would take off, the same thing is happening with new gTLDs…I’m just thinking many .COM-only investors are going to get left in the dust."
From vast majority will fail, then flippity flop, now they will take off like the .coms did in the 90's.
It's why when I first started and was checking out all the blogs, it's one that really didn't do anything for me, too much bait posting for my taste.
