Best way to stay ontop of newly added TLDs?

[Hayes]

About every week I go to namecheap to register a new domain, and notice a new tld. Is there any way to stay ontop of the ones ICANN adds?

edit: nevermind, I see they have a notification service coming soon.

Sounds like someone's squatting portfolio is about to take a major hit. Or can you expand on why they are bad?

They can't, some are just trolling, best is to ignore them if they can't take part in a constructive discussion

Just ignore them, it's getting ridiculous: name.stupidandlongextensionmakesnosenseatalltome

So name.longextension makes no sense, but longprefix.name does? Go cognitive dissonance!

Not really. "Everyone" knows a .com so they'd have to remember just the name part. Of course a long .com name is not ideal but just saying.

People will be confused as hell with the new tlds...was it before the dot or after the dot? and so on
