Hello and welcome to Frogans Market, the first namePros thread dedicated to showcasing the people and technology driving adoption of Frogans technology - the newest member of the internet.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I own Go*Frogans.com and may make reference to that site. Use your discretion when contemplating participation or registration of Frogans names and Frogans networks.
I'll also preface this by addressing what I believe one of the most difficult things for hardcore Domainers to wrap their heads around - that there are actually are other internet systems beyond email and the world wide web.
The domain community can be very polarized and hard-wired (bull-headed) about how they view the internet namespace. Those differences both enhance and detract from the broader acceptance of new technologies. There will always be die-hard .com devotees, new gTLD aficionados, ccTLD pundits and everything in between. I only ask that you keep and open mind. No one is suggesting that you to jump on the bandwagon.
Some 30 years ago there were a few early adopters who risked some time and resources to invest in the emerging phenomenon known as the internet and the domains that got us from IP addresses to websites. Some of them profited, and continue to profit handsomely. And given the current confusion in the market, that may or may not happen here.
Like it or not, new technologies will be introduced that could dramatically impact the way that people create and share content on the internet. Undoubtedly the incumbent technologies dominate, but that can change, and perhaps quicker that we might think.
Frogans addresses are similar to TLDs in that there is a naming convention that enables access to websites. Currently, a second level domain to the left of the (dot), and a TLD to the right of the (dot) gets you to your desired website.
Frogans uses Frogans addresses to get you to Frogans sites using a new naming convention.
Frogans addresses are made up of 2 parts - a Network Name followed by the asterisk "*" character ending with a Site Name. It looks like this:
Frogans sites require a free downloadable Frogans Player in order to access Frogans sites.
Once you have a Frogans Player you can access Frogans sites. A few examples are:
The other option is to register a Network name, the name or string of characters to the left of the "*". One of the things that immediately attracted me to Frogans was this:
If you own the Network name, by definition you own ALL of the site names to the right of the "*".
For example, if you own the Network name NewYork, you also own:

There is a lot more to this story. So take a look. Keep an open mind. Join the conversation. Add value and perhaps even profit. Your call.
