That is a very good article, with most of the comments in agreement. Thanks for sharing.

That's newsworthy.

I think that is because the comments that aren't in agreement aren't being published, and most of those that are being published are from people here, so we've got back-patting rather than actual discussion.

I think if the person writing the story had been around the .tv aftermarket for a while they probably would be writing a very different story.

are you saying your comments were not published ? maybe the writer has seen your form here ?

 

[snoop]

Yes. Didn't you think it strange that a blog post praising .tv would be followed by a whole lot of positive comments?

maybe the writer has seen your form here ?

Quite possible.

Interesting read. Nice that the average person on the street is getting connected to .TV names as an appropriate way to express anything televisual.

But if you are joining in the .Tv revolution, don't get confused between 'gold' and 'fools gold'. Stick to quality names only.

Well said James

I've said it ever since I joined the .TV game. The video trends, upcoming technology and the TV/internet integration will all contribute to boost the .TV extension forward.

Snoop - The aftermarket doesn't matter because it's not relevant to the success of the extension. The average internet user doesn't even know what the aftermarket is. If they're looking for hot videos of BMW's they'll go to BMW.TV (promoted by BMW). If they want to know more about Operas network, they'll go to OWN.TV (promoted by Opera herself).

This is just the beginning of online video distribution, streaming and online interaction. Open your eyes and you will hopefully see what's going on. If not, I can't feel sorry for you because you've had plenty of opportunities.

Interesting article and really it is more about endusers than domainers -

That being said it could be a good idea to secure at least one .tv domain that you think would be suitable for you to create a video show on. If you like nutrition, for example, you could try to buy NutritionChannel.tv (which is available by the way). Then if the trend described above becomes true and online video explodes you could use that domain for a new project.

Snoop - not all positive. there's one comment suggest using sub domain. (tv.domainname.com)

 

[claudedauman]

I enjoyed the positive replies too!

 

[tj1897]

Since jimbo was kind enough to bestow me with quality name like healthfoods.tv i took the bait and put nutritionchannel out of its misery - so technically speaking the article is out of date a
And oh yeah...that lead to regging nutritionclinic.tv, dietclinic.tv while i was at it! I definatley need to take a breather!

The aftermarket matters to pretty much everyone here.

The extension is used and known by the public but from a domaining point of view it is terrible because demand isn't strong enough to support solid aftermarket, it is a niche extension.

Telling domainers the aftermarket doesn't matter is like telling a real estate agents the property market doesn't matter.

Snoop, using your analogy, as usual, you miss the boat. This forum is not for real estate agents; it is for holders of newly-zoned sub-dividable land where the city (youtube et al) is putting in sewers, sidewalks, and electric lines, subsidizing rising valuations for the landholders.

It doesn't really matter what comparison you use people are concerned with the aftermarket for the asset that they hold and/or are trying to sell.

These arguments about it not mattering only come out when prices are poor.

You're right - the aftermarket matters to domainers, not to end-users. But if I'm not mistaken we've ALWAYS talked about the popularity of the .TV extension from a end-users point of view, not a domainers. Personally I couldn't care less about the popularity of the .TV extension among domainers because domainers don't make or break an extension, the big end-users and their viewers do. Dot TV is no exception there.

Look at the link posted by the OP, I doubt all the people dropping their comments over there are domainers. In fact, it looks like a lot of them are potential end-users.

You've probably noticed by now that I'm a dev and not a domainer. I consider my .TV's an investment for what is to come and DEVELOPMENT is the key to success. A $5k sale isn't success in my world because I don't invest to flip domains, I invest to build a network of online .TV websites.

Ok back to this article after gettign sidetracked with the knee jerk reg of the nutrition names.

Speaking for myself the article accurately echoes a thought process that’s happening in the big wide world as we speak – the same one that brought me to the extension here 2 months ago.

My view is this that with laymen like myself - .com was the be all and end all .
If the myraid of todays extension have failed to acquire the non domainer’s mindshare why should any of the looming new extensions fare any better?

This suggests to me that any extension that gains mindshare as a defacto in some shape or form is then difficult to dislodge no matter how many new candidates arrive on the scene.

Once you are in a club of ‘known’ extensions you are pretty much set. I believe connected tv revolution will help push .tv into that club – the article is a sign that more people are talking about this extension and that its closer to breaking from pack than others - with the tv convergence dialogues kicking into gear. Prior to these developments its difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what .tv had going for it -- again if only because i and the general laymen was totally oblivious to it.

What I have noticed is endusers "trusting" us to remember a .tv extension.

Look at this - saw it advertise in a mag -
http://techinstyle.tv/

imo some major endusers think that this is a respectable and memorable extension to use, and that is a really good sign. Otherwise they go for .com or countrycode usually - I don't see them using others much.
