.tv Eurovision.tv

Like another 180 million plus homes in Europe my family just watched the Eurovision Song Contest - which was this year won by a bearded lady from Austria.

The amazing thing about this show is that, even though it is totally crap, it has run for over half a century and seems to only get more popular.

For reasons I cannot understand it is even popular outside of Europe and according to wikipedia has a global audience of around 600 million. To put that in perspective the Superbowl, also according to wikipedia, is watched by around 93 million people.

This years show, which came from Denmark, was unique in the fact they happily mentioned their website several times.

And guess what, it's one of those pesky .tv names

Eurovision.tv

Even more amazing is the fact the same organisation also own Eurovision.com but choose the .tv as it's main public site.

Change isn't a coming … it's landed, took root, and is now kicking ass!

change, what change jimbo? we all know .tv is cool for a videocentric site and its a fact that quite a few more tv related concerns have discovered they can promote their offerings using one. is that the change?

more importantly- is this new acceptance really going to change the status quo? i have a few hundred .tv and havnt seen very much increase in type in at all. if people start doing a lot more type ins using xxxxxx.tv as search terms (like they still do using .com) then boy oh boy would that be a change worth crowing about! i'd be right there with ya bro, seeing if i couldnt crow even louder than you.

but as it stands methinks your merely stoking the hype machine for your own potential gain. i mean you do have quite a few .tv you want/need to move, you arnt buying any of these for any purpose beyond the flip right?

Finally one who sets the record straight.I'm not the only one who's getting tired of al this pumping.

I have noticed in recent years more usage of .TV and TV.com but didn't know if the observation was merely due to my investment in the space. I have .COM domains too and don't really think about it when a company uses .COM except that quite often one will notice branding around reg fee quality .COMs Domain names generally speaking aren't viewed as brands. To launch a website you may look for a hosting account or have a logo designed but how much are you willing to pay for those services? I believe domains are often viewed in the same light.
