opinion Let's exploit the .blog extension Win or Bust?

[TheWatcher]

Today .Blog extension open it's door. I don't like their pricing setup and thousand of keyword reserved, but what the hell. Let me get some.

I registered CyberWar.blog and now redirecting to my cyber security blog.
What's your plan using .blog extension aside the obvious "blog" posting. Let's exploit the possibility, care to share what's on your mind? What domain you successfully registered and what's your plan for the next 12 months?

Thank you,

Reg just one "Secu .blog" to maintain a security blog and earn some CPE as I am Cissp certified.
This is the shortest possibility for security I found;
Infosec and sec are reserved !
Security and secure are premium !

Secu .blog will be in French because in France we use secu instead of securité

regged my first gltds today, just wondering in the for sale summary should I put a comment it is standard reg fee and not premium, especially being I think registrar could upgrade in the future?
Picked up GiGs. blog childsupport. blog homebrewery .blog petvet. blog
Of coarse I hope it will be a win but don't plan on regging anymore. Still some pretty good names available
for the basic reg fee

So far no positive comments from other investors.

Well, I dug a little and found a couple that I'm satisfied with:

syndicated.blog
bloggin.blog

For poops and giggles, eventually bloggin.blog will turn into a one-page wonder: blog.bloggin.blog/bloggin

 

[TheWatcher]

I think syndicated.blog is makes more sense than bloggin. IMHO.
Will you use it as your own blog or something?
Or it will be for sale?

@TheWatcher long-term hold to my collection.

$27.99 at goodaddy. I see the few for my geographic area are gone. Any chance an end user would get a deal is gone. It's just another extension to me. I keep thinking if .net failed, why won't the new ones.
Except .xyz.lol


8888.blog 130k per year

I own 888Blog.com, think I will stick with that.

I tried to register 6 names.
I got the 3 Dutch names I wanted.
I got ThaiFood.blog
Thailandtravel.blog is now on auction so I wasnt the only one.

And Trump.blog seems to be a mystery..........
When I preregisterd it was priced at reg fee, although Clinton.blog and Obama.blog were both premium. So I guessed that they were no Trump lovers at Wordpress.
But now it didnt go to auction and I didnt seem to get it, so now I guess they suddenly became Trump lovers at Wordpresss after all......

I own ThailandBlog.com, I think that is my preference.

Matt Mullenweg: "We're very reasonable on the pricing, so people will be able to consider renewing."

OK just need my Visa Gold for the 100k renewal bill

Maybe 100k is reasonable if you are a billionaire like Mullenweg.

100k is not reasonable......

 

[TheWatcher]

Somehow the .blog is picking up 26,213 registration as of today.

I own 888Blog.com, think I will stick with that.

Now you can easily justify your price to your prospective buyers.
Sometimes we need a distraction like .blog to increase the value of our existing portfolio.

His reasonable price is out of wack

KING.blog is $139,999.99 per year. In 10 years, your cost is $1.39M + $139K every year.
QUEEN.blog is $13,999.99 per year. In 10 years, your cost is $139K + $13K every year.

Wow, even in domain world equality is not so equal.

Without a doubt premium names probably wont be regged, but there a ton of standard reg fee names available, of course the standard reg fee isn't cheap either at 25-29 dollars a yr. But having said that I couldn't have regged( gigs.com) unless I took out a second mortgage.Got gigs.blog for 27, But I am willing to give it a shot with the half dozen names I regged. First time for me with a ntld. Not hyping dot blogs because either it will take off with bloggers or be a flop. Just wanted some skin in the game if by chance it does well. I missed the 4 letter.com boom because at the time it didn't make sense to me. Had a few of them I made money on though.
