Next Trend ?

[mrcurly]

Moving on from the 3D, Cloud , NFC, Marijuana etc....trends, what do people think will be the next big money maker for the domainer?

I have a few Big Data domains but I like my hand in several dishes so if anyone would like to share their thoughts I'm sure a lot of domainers would appreciate any insights to what's gonna be hot or not.

Cheers

Stu

The next big trend?


As the Artic and Antarctic start to be claimed by countries like Russia and exploited for the natural resources, this may become a valuable trend.

Anyone focused on the space travel industry yet?

In your opinion, what is the next big domain craze?

I have noticed that the NamePros community stays up to date with the most popular domain names. We had the cloud, space and big data domains to name a few, but in your opinion what do you think the next big thing will be in the domain business?

 

[mjnels]

you're confusing the "next big thing in the domain business" with overboard forum hype.

the next big thing are gTLD's

Yeah, you might be right on that. I do see that some of the "big things" are sometimes just local to NamePros, but what gTLD's are we talking here? I read there is a bunch of new ones coming out.

maybe a bit off-topic:


a current security / cloud trend :

local Could Services or at least not in the USA,


thanks to the Stasi 3.0 aka nsa, the US Cloud Companys will


- in the best case scenario loss $21.5 Bill (Total three-year loss)

-in the worst case scenario they will loss $35 Bill (Total three-year loss)


according to the the forecast from Information Technology & Innovation Foundation itif.org http://www2.itif.org/2013-cloud-computing-costs.pdf

What do you think the best gTLD will be? Looking like .web is the favorite so far.

 

[mjnels]

there wont be a "best" at first or probably for a long time.

.web is lame

Has anyone mentioned Graphene on here yet? If anything's going to be a game changer in the next few years, my guess is it'll be Graphene. Also one worth buying shares in, hence:

GrapheneInvestments.com

Also have:

GrapheneHQ.com

Fluorographene.com/net (a derivative of Graphene)

 

[gilescoley]

Yeah Graphene has been covered on a few of future trends forums and threads

Tap-tap boom-boom domains :blink: :notme:

 

[newshunter]

hey! :gl:

what about bitcoin, the internet currency?

Whitespace is a trend to watch. Anything web related would always have a domaining angle.

yeah, there's a lot of excitement for graphene in certain domaining circles - but i still cant figure out why(?)

no one generally cares what makes things run or how they become the way they are.. how they are built..etc..

while graphene is an amazing discovery and will aide us in some seriously cool innovations (just a fun example - the complete digital car where you will be able to change the color(s) of your car on a daily basis or even display different advertisements each day...etc..), yes... this will be a lot of fun for us as the consumer and all that fun jazz - but where is the domain opportunity here?.. graphene this/com... graphene that/com??... seriously... that's just not gonna happen

i can't really see anything being named with graphene in it just because of that.. sure, possibly in the very, very short term - but after that - it will be no different than any other "proton conductor" or ... "ionic charge of silicone"... or ...?

do we really care about the coils in the back of a fridge?... or how the electricity charges your big screen tv?... do you care why your led tv is now only 40 pound instead of 80? .. or why/how the price has dropped to its lowest figures yet?... all of these are because of some new element being used or replaced...

.. domaining opportunity?

i don't know.. i have only one graphene name (Graphene360/com) and this was ust to have a pony in the race and i personally like 360 names... but outside of maybe three/four others, i can't see the opportunity all that much

.. but this is all my perspective
i could certainly be wrong ... just thought i'd add my two cents for what is was worth to help the discussion

... Graphene. Also one worth buying shares in

this makes more sense to me with graphene than domaining
