.tv Explain .tv to me please

[smashfactory]

ok- i need help understanding what .tv is supposed to represent here (outside of the "another country" tld)

now bud.tv is going to be a web based television network- and i thought .tv was geared towards things realted to tv and tv shows....

now when i see something in a different tld like purplepickles.us- people say it doesnt relate to the extension well. understood.

but i am seeing some weird .tv names, just to have a one word dictionary word- with a lot of atta boy's, but they make no sense to tv.

i regged names i "thought" fit well with the extension- now i am wondering if i missed something....

Nah, you didn't miss anything. The guys regging non-media names with .tv and some paying big fees are nuts. You're ok.

Care to add some more depth to that statement?
I also see from another thread,you say .tv is a bad joke, why do you think that is?.


I am not trying to be argumentitive, i would just like to know the reasoning behind your thoughts on .tv.

To try an answer your question smashfactory,this thread may give you an idea of where .tv is heading.

thanks stoneroses-
i personally like .tv- of all the ones there are, i really like this one. i agree about .com being the most universal, and so many other extensions is a bit worthless (many i dont like) but i see a real niche for .tv- it's easier to connect it to the subject matter.
you can say love.com, .net or .org and have to really push to get recognition beyond the .com for most things- but with .tv, i think there is a real connection and will require less effort to do so.

I suppose one of the benefits of regging seemingly unrelated names to the tv extension is if a new tv show comes out, and you have the name e.g. new show named "Unregistered", & you have the domain unregistered.tv. Even better if the show becomes a hit. Obviously could be TM issues in this case etc. etc.

I don't see how there can be a TM issuse if someone registers a .tv generic name in 2006 and a new show launched in 2007.

Also, we will probably see hundreds of internet TV shows being launched in 2007 and many more vlogs and video content sites. .TV is the logical extension for all of them and they will be looking for the perfect .tv name for them.

First off all, if you want to learn more about .tv names, you are at the right place. Read all the posts and there is so much to learn. This sub forum is the best resource.

Second, while all ccTLDs have basic definition that they are ccTLDs, their meanings are changed a bit. For example .ws as for website, .sc for source or .cc for creditcards or variations of them. While .TV belongs to Tuvalu, it was never marketed as .tv for Tuvalu, it is always intended as .tv for televisions. And by all means, TV abbreviation is known as TeleVision all over the word, no language barriers or anything. While .US strictly belongs to USA, there is nothing like that for .tv. IMO, .TV in itself is gTLD rather than ccTLD. It may not be today, but it will be one day.

So once you agree that .tv can represent television, it can be television shows, or talk shows or bare minimum any video content.

For development purposes, keywords are important, not the extension, so you may see some keyword(s).tv s registered that may not be directly related to media content, they may be good candidates for development independently.

For or against .tv, there were numerous threads devoted for that discussion.

Especially, with the new life given to .tv namespace, only good things can emerge. Just watch out.

Still confused, show me your names, I may buy them off of your hands.

AwardShows.tv
TechShows.tv
LateShows.tv
eCelebrity.tv
iCelebrity.tv
eGameshow.tv
eBeauty.tv
eGarden.tv
ShopFromHome.tv
Trackside.tv

Nice names. Good luck with them. You should hold on to them a little more while.
