.io .io Thread and Showcase

Bought a new .io domain through sedo last week a NN.io , bit of an investment and gamble but worth a shot in my opinion.

Anyone investing in .io domains? please feel free to share your investments.

Cheers

Kiln, Not really...Justdoit is a standard english words and unless I dont sell shoes, there is no issue. This is not a made up name like Nike...there are several other TLDs of same name which are not registered by Nike...

please check trademark rules and I have checked this and only then, registered this. Apple.org is not owned by apple...companies cant trademark standard english terms. Thanks.

@dhyinc that only applies to very generic words and phrases. I was just letting you know in case you weren't aware. I am very familiar with trademark rules cause I had a problem with two domains and then learned everything I could about it so I would not run into the problem ever again.

In this case I just think it is very risky cause Nike is a huge company and more and more law suits are being filed by big companies against domains and they always seem to win 99% of the time...and in this case the tm has an entire wikipedia page about it haha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Do_It

They prob have the tm filed for every class.. lol

Nike have filed plenty of UDRPs, they are familiar with WIPO. Examples:

Minimum Viable Product is super trendy with the tech crowd from the Lean Startup movement. That's a great domain.

Wouldn't it be better used as Mobile Virtualization Platform? That's hot.. though I would contact Mill Valley Philharmonic too

Caught a drop, SOFTWARE.IO, probably right off to Flippa with it as I don't have a real plan to use it. Didn't expect to catch it. Just trying to decide.
