Hey Peeps

Interesting info that I thought is worth sharing...

======================================================

Thanks to “researchnet” names, net was the top trending keyword in .com last month.

Verisign released its monthly trending keywords report for May, and the number one trending term in .com was…net?

Yes, net.

According to Verisign’s DomainView, there was a spike in .com names containing “net” registered on May 20, when about 4,000 names were registered.

DomainView doesn’t list all of them, but many names contained “researchnetwork” and “researchnet”. These appear to have been registered to a SafeNames client.

Net is also the number one trending work in .net, as each of these names (such as the very long ComputerBiologyMedicineResearchNet.com) was also registered in .com.

Thanks to these registrations, “research” landed in the number 2 spot.

Here are the top ten trending keywords in .com from last month:

1. Net
2. Research
3. Trump
4. Ticket
5. Window
6. Got
7. Desk
8. Staging
9. Certified
10. Plumber

(such as the very long ComputerBiologyMedicineResearchNet.com) was also registered in .com. -->

this already is a com ?



So basically what this article suggests is that somethingnet.com is chosen over something.net and also somethingnet.net
:O

.net used to be the extension you chose when the .com version of a domain was already taken but you really wanted to have the name. Now with so many new extensions released, I think .net is losing it's stigma and is becoming a good TLD. Maybe a rise it long deserved.

Thanks,

People also used to refer to the internet as "the net", and the idea of online being a large network was more present. I can understand lots of aged domains containing ___net, but it is cool seeing it be this big today.
