.tv Is .tv still the top ccTLD domain hack?

[kubativity]

With recent success of .me branding, and godaddy pushing (ew) .co, where does .tv stand these days?

Well, the answer is that .TV is still the top re-branded ccTLD. There is simply no other extension that has the level of use and recognition as our beloved .TV - and dont let any fools tell you otherwise.

Now we all know that the domain market is taking a serious hit in value with the opening of new TLDs and the recent changes in the direction ICANN is moving the addressing system.

The good news is that a great name is still a great name and .tv names may even benefit in the long run since it is such an undeniably recognizable term.

Further, even my friends who are dont follow the domain industry like us recognize .tv as an established valid tld basically just as good as .com in their eyes. No other extension has embedded itself so successfully into the general public. .TV will be an major success for years to come.

For domain hacks I think a lot of people are overlooking .in...

I think the hype in .co will be short-lived. I don't see any USP in it at all.

.me has a high element of brandability and therefore it has some bright future imo.

.tv has more supporters, especially among domainers. It will survive but for a very limited video-centric market.

.tv has been pretty commonplace in mainstream media and advertising in UK for a while now. Recently I get the feeling our friends across the pond are beginning to see how cool it is too. awesome.

to me a true ha.ck incorporates the extension into the word , more commonly one worders, example: worldne.ws (mine)

i understand the context of the question but disagree on what is being called a ha.ck
