on dragons den

LOL, you beat me to it :D

oh well, they lost that one based on someone else having a very similar domain more than anything else, bummer

looks like the name let them down....ifoods.tv

looks like the name let them down....ifoods.tv

Only because someone else own ifood.tv, nothing to do with the name or it being a .tv, infact it was good for .tv as 2 sites were using it and The Dragons seemed to know about .TV and like the idea of what they were doing.

 

[hullswingerscom]

true....i can see ifoods.tv dropped soon

true....i can see ifoods.tv dropped soon

I don't think they will drop it Mike, they have 15,000 visitors, they will probably use it to redirect to their new brand imo

I thought this name dropped at tdnam not too long ago... unless it was the singular...

They done very well with their presentation, the 'experts' liked there site & make positive comments about many of the groups ideas (video ads, increased video use online...etc)

One of the main points that stood out for me was that EVERY single 'expert' full understood it was Ifoods.TV, not Ifoods.com or IfoodsTV.com so once again this shows that the general public easily gets .tv's, know that it is a extension, know how to type it in and wont instantly think 'Ifoods.com' like this big bad .commer's try and make out again & again. :p
And not one of the 'experts' asked why did you use .TV rather than .com as they work better?????
.TV looked perfect on such a site, branded as a 'Channel' and further reinforcing the Internet & TV = .Tv idea :p

I'm sure after than show then there would of been many discussions between families sitting at home on how The Internet & TV are becoming one thing, how great the whole premise looks & works & of course "I wonder if _____.TV is available.

Another nice step in the steady growth of .tv IMHO
I loved it, since the show was on then i've had a number of calls from people saying "Did you see one of they .Tv things you are in to were on Dragons Den, is xxxxxxx.Tv available, what about xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tv, what about xxXxvdvedvevfvd.Tv....etc :] "
I'm willing to bet that a high number of UK individuals & companies will be searching for .Tv domains today on the back of that show.

Have a nice day all, be positive & positive things will happen %%-

I can guarantee you there will be one UK individual searching for TV names today.

me.

 

[mckennaronnie]

I can guarante 100's in Glasgow alone but most expect to find Whisky.tv, Drunk.tv, Sport.tv, wee.tv, IrnBru.tv, beilyerheid.tv and other Scottish gems so will be left upset.

The Ifoods.Tv show may help bring attention to those Ikeyword.tv domains, shame i dont own any though.

 

[rokoroko]

its good for my iCooking.TV too

 

[bds]

its good to see people recognising .tv especially the Dragons.
williamhillbingo.tv is also being advertised in UK.

I would like to see this trend pick up.

the program was great too.

It was interesting to see that the dragons picked up on the fact that such a similar name was in use by a competitor.

During the last series, Theo put £250k into an online company that provides gambling alerts (best rates, new propmos etc). These so called 'online experts' only had the .co.uk - within seconds I was checking on the .com and it had been taken moments before by another domainer!!!!

No doubt this was when Theo learnt the hard way....

Good exposure for .tv - amazing how few people looking to make their fortune on the internet don't 'get' domains, one of the most important aspects of their site.

 

[hullswingerscom]

lots people in the uk go to 123-reg.co.uk to reg there names and if you want a prem tv name it just says taken...

so if your not a domainer and just want that name you will not know that you need to go to enom.com for it....same thing at godaddy.

eFoods.tv

wow, a great news for the owner of eFoods.tv!

Looks like I've hit fortune again.... :lala:

 

[hullswingerscom]

i still dont realy think the man in the street is recognising .tv .

when they do i will change my shop sign back to tv..

but i just dont see this happening for a good few years yet...

i dont seem to be getting anymore hits on my names then i did last year.
am forever saying "no its not tv.com..its just .tv....

maybe its just the fact i live in hull yorkshire.
bit fed up with it to be honest
