.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[TOXX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:
...

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

Almost entirely shrugged of then? Ethics are nice. But bad business conduct on the multinationial corporation level, is never badmouthed in the same way. People are thinking "hoarders", "cockroaches", because we are mostly individuals, people, like them, who have taken what´s "rightfully theirs". But they wouldn´t dream of having the same hateful emotions about the real crooks, that have the power to do what they see fit regardless of the consequenses.

Actually...immoral multinationals are pretty heavily badmouthed. People are fed up with unethical behaviour in the market economy, period. Big fish or small fish...if you are a douche you can expect to be called out on it.

More commonly known in the Spanish language as "household". A good reg but not something to write home about.

It was an end user. Dashboards are becoming huge in the world of business intelligence and business reporting. Just google business dashboard or business intelligence.

I'm sure if I tried harder I would've gotten way more.

[emjohn]

It really depends on the situation on how these words are used. Hogares is nice but not the greatest.

Google does not always do the best job of translating. Because language is more of an art than science, or at least equal portion, one should consult a native speaker before purchasing. Translating in Google is not enough.

Here's the "home" entry from WordReference.com:

home 1 /həʊm/ sustantivo

uncountable or countable (of person)
(dwelling) casa f;
to own one's own ~ tener(conj.⇒) casa propia;

Not on the same level. People can identify with domainers. That´s why we get the shaft like that. Big companies can get media attention every day for unbelievably corrupt behaviour and people think "oh well, that´s the way the cookie crumbles".

 

[emjohn]

You have a point there. Traditional business will never get the shaft because it "has been so" for a long time and people are used to it. It is OK to purchase, for investment, 15 homes you don't personally need and to make a substantial profit. This is "acceptable" practice. Purchase "domains" as an investment and you are a squatter. Difference is a matter of perception. The internet is the billboard to the world and being so, you are open to a lot more criticism. There is a lot more profit to be made via internet business than anywhere else, but on the other hand, exposure is that much more pervasive. An internet investor will always be open to more scrutiny than traditional businesses. No doubt.

So how is having 15 real estate properties any different than owning 15 internet properties? There isn't any difference. With physical real estate, most people accept when they can't have the "malibu" home they want and then move on. On the Net, you can see the property you want everyday and you can want it even more. You can see a website or domain name even more, on a daily basis, because it is easily accessible.

If I live in New York and want a Malibu property, I can't see it everyday. Herein lies the problem.

Not on the same level. People can identify with domainers. That´s why we get the shaft like that. Big companies can get media attention every day for unbelievably corrupt behaviour and people think "oh well, that´s the way the cookie crumbles".

Interesting how, after 2 years, .CO still receives massive exposure from registrars. They have also been selling them for as low as $7.99 since January and the Registry has teamed up with Startup America to offer free domains to startups.

Curious to know how many .COs are currently registered. In January, I remember Kate (sdsinc) posted the .CO zone file and there were around 1.2 million domains.

 

[Lakshan]

I took ///Social-Network/// today. ("-" on mid)
Most other extensions already registered

...thanks so much for the detailed analysis that you took the time out to post, it is well appreciated.

While I do realize that it doesn't pack the punch of a keyword like "casa", it is a Spanish word in a Spanish speaking ccTLD extension that is not an oddity in their lexicon and I like it for that fact. It may be of use to some potential enduser down the road.

As I stated before, I only have three .co names and two are in Spanish. I do not see myself buying any more...

Again, I give you props for your intelligent appraisal of this word.

Google translate 'hogares' into 'homes'. I wonder if thats why he regged it?

...that, and the fact that I also have hogares in the .tv extension.

As emjohn states correctly language is really more of an art than a science, and Latin American countries do speak the language with variations. What may be commonplace in one country or culture may be rare in others.

to get a good translation, you may need to acquire the services not of a native speaker of one country, but several who knows the nuances involved in the differences, for example, between what is spoken in Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Peru etal.

While similar, there are at times wide differences in the vernacular.

Hogares fits in this category. It is a word that, as emjohn states is, "good but nothing to write home about". It just depends what country that home is in. That is good enough for me to reg it...

 

[Dave]

Anyone else notice Oranges.co in Sedo's top domain listings? Anyone else find this rather odd? I personally don't see oranges.co a premium .co although it is very good.. mind you maybe thats just me..
