.tv Dot TV regging Parameters!

[WineGuy]

I am going to take a shot at starting a thread here that will hopefully help us al with the self doubt and questioning we experience just before we click on the BUY button for a new dot TV we have just 'discovered'.

Unlike dot .com , there needs to be rules or a baseline by which we pre-appraise and pre-evaluate a dot TV we are about to register.

First, can we all agree that the highest best use of dotTV is to promote some sort of video/visual/television content whether it is ourselves personally or an end user?

If you say yes to that assumption then the first rule of regging an Dot TV is:

1. A regged dot TV should have some sort of marketable video content or application associated with it an interested world audience of 500,000 minimum. InkJet.TV does not have said interested market that would tune in.

Anyone care to add to this list of parameters? Rule #2?

Cheers!

I would say, acknowledge the strengths of .tv vs .com and the weaknesses of .com vs .tv.

Im short, that means don't register a generic just because it is a generic, look for a branding advantage that a .tv will have over a .com - typically this will be because your domain perfectly suits video/visual/television content; hence .tv.

Aways have a idea for development in mind before regging and brainstorm names for that niche before regging because often you will come up with something better than your orignal concept.

Agree with Wineguys comments other than the size of the market. Lots of small markets can be very profitable. Content over numbers for me any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
