Boston.com or .Boston ?

Boston.com or .Boston ?

Which url has greater overall INTRINSIC value and why ?

Which url would allow a corporation to gross more money in the long run ?

 

[Adulu]

.boston so odd.
boston.com is best

 

[bmugford]

What about Bos.ton or Bo.ston or B.oston....

 

[urbain]

well i think everything is best .
if we were used to .boston before and now boston.com get approved , i think its the same thing we would do ,we all will say .boston is better.
its all in our head and what we used to.
it will take time to engrave all the new extension in the head of the oldies but the new half a billion still discovering internet will be just as easy as learning the alphabet.
only time can really tell whats going to happen but again i think the development era is just near .if yu got a very strong developped sites i don't think yu should worry.

i also see we are more worry about the extension but what about search engine ?if they change their programs the transition will even be more faster than we thought as most traffic are driven by search engine.now google search will just pop in first pagee .boston instead of boston.com.

Boston.com

 

[rodash]

The more clutter the more valuable and more conspicuous the dot coms will become. And this idea is little more than clutter. All the major corporations in the world have their main corporate presence locked up in .com, and nothing is going to change that. On top of that, how many extensions have tried to knock dot com off it's perch in the past 14 years and failed miserably. They haven't even looked like getting close.

.CLUTTER will go the way of dot MOBI (LOL).

 

[onewordonly]

Boston.com is not the most realistic example, most of us would only have a name like BostonHotels.com at best.... so you could have Boston.hotel or Boston.hotels etc

 

[gazzip]

Boston.com as it will likely continue to get type in traffic for the next 5 to 10 years regardless of what happens with .boston

Boston.Boston

...So good they named it twice




.

 

[Hurley4540]

Or

vist.boston
food.boston
drinks.boston
airport.boston
clubs.boston

Lol....

 

[owntype]

Boston.ICANN

 

[creature]

Or

vist.boston
food.boston
drinks.boston
airport.boston
clubs.boston

Lol....

When you put it like that, the rumored 100k seems reasonable. .boston seems very modern and futuristic compared to boston.com. A little worrying for .com owners imo.

add for example ... sex.boston and now which domain will be more

valuable boston.com or everything.boston ?

Boston.com will seem old, severely limited and archaic. :o

 

[Seabass]

One thing folks may be forgetting is that .boston is a lot longer than .com.

If you don't think that matters then why does everyone want short domains?

Also, the email address. Will it be [email protected]on, [email protected]on - its going to be confusing with all kinds of .com's getting emails from these guys.

Lastly, I would say that once everyone sees that most of the domains are parked or registered for defensive purposes then they will go back to the trusted .com where they can expend less energy to find what they want much quicker.

There will be some great names to be had, but they won't have traffic and will need to be built out to mean anything to anyone.

No doubt it will be as confusing as Babel ... Google won't be complaining

this is a God send for them. :blink:

 

[Hurley4540]

They will now take over the world with .google :o

 

[cityforums.com]

They will now take over the world with .google :o

I have no doubt they will go for their own extension.

Or

vist.boston
food.boston
drinks.boston
airport.boston
clubs.boston

A bit like typos. ie boston.hotels might end up being a typo of hotels.boston

 

[ezimedia]

HI

I like the idea of www.boston

But would go for Boston.com any day..

Tom

 

[domainer50]

Boston.com I suppose

 

[moped]

To roughly quote Frank Shilling on dot com, "A trillion dollars has been spent promoting the dot com franchise", why would you want to waste your time developing anything less?
