The Next Big Trend

[trigatch4]

Blogs Blooks Vlogs Zunes and Wiis seemed to dominate the past 9 months as the BIG products/ideas that kind of took hold of domainers... anyone have an idea of what the "next big thing" might be? (i didn't capitalize on any of those )

[wow!]

Space travel

Women to Venus
Guys to Mars...


Now for the next big trend...
I bet it will go for Web 3.0

After the web 2.0 mania with youtube and myspace
where the content comes from the people, it'll go wider and wilder.

:imho:

Where the content comes from the animals and plants? I say, they are a massive untapped market segment!

I think the next big thing will be online OSes like goowy etc.
I am sure that Google will the first one to release such a software.

 

[ukguy]

the death of microsoft?
how?
google offering online office etc..
maybe even (and this may be in top secret development) a GoogleOS
now.. that would make MS **** their pants

I'm really getting tired of people repeating "stay generic" or "buy generic"... generic, generic, generic....

Show me a Generic dot com that the average Joe can afford, a generic dot com that can be hand reg'd, ANY word in the Dictionary that is ever remotely generic and I will pay you TWICE what the asking price is!

I absoultely agree that the best bet in owning a domain is the BEST BET in owning a domain... the problem is, all those domains are owned already and it is more likely that you will pry them from the cold dead hands of their owners rather than buy them from them for $x or $xx bucks.

Assume for a second that you CAN'T buy a generic dot common... and read the question of this post. Because it makes more sense.

What is the next Trend? In other words, since you can't play at the dot common slot machines, where CAN we play?

What about keword combination domains?

FOR EXAMPLE: Instead of Cameras.com... what about "digital Cameras" or "new digital cameras" or "cheap digital cameras" or "compare digital cameras"?

(I don't know if any of these are taken or not, if not, I'd like some credit please )

Would descriptive or common search terms be the second in line to generic dot common domains? Is it possible that the new focus, the new trend in the attempt to attract "natural" traffic would be to focus on and capture niche SEARCH traffic?

Just a thought...

[ukguy]

well.. all these were taken years ago

I mean.. buythebestdigitalcameraintheworld.com might not be taken now... but you can bet your ass it'll be taken in the next few years

problem is their are only so many words in the dictionary

I'm thinking maybe some website will pick up on OJ Simpsons recent book, and maybe put it online, or possibly Kramers outbreak the other night in that club where he began using racist slander after being ticked off.

Check your trend here:

http://www.google.com/trends

"Power leveling" is a growing trend for example.

http://www.google.com/trends?q="power+leveling"

As you can see, aside from the great robot invasion of 2005, "robots" is a waning trend.

http://www.google.com/trends?q="robots"&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

Hope that helps.

Are you fimiliar with OVT? Basically.. If there is any term that gets searched more than a few times a month, someone probably already owns it. I guess the best approach for people with little money (myself included) is to keep up on the latest developing technologies and such and try to reg keyword domains for these. The problem with that is there is always someone in-the-know... Meaning someone who has inside information and regs domains long before anyone else knows about it. People were talking about the OJ Simpson thing... So you look up ifididit.com and you notice it was regged oct-19... With whois privacy... So someone obviously had some inside information on that one, because no one else heard about the OJ thing until like a week or 2 ago

LOL! Yes... I'm familiar.

Have YOU been able to access OVT in say... the past 10 months? What a PITA!!!

Check it right now... notta.

Are YOU familiar with Google's API? Write your own program to get search term relevance and numbers from within GOOGLE.

The numbers are FAR different than you imagine. People assume that OVT is just a "bit different" from Google's numbers. Some people say they differ only 10%, some say 25%... even at 50% you'd be pretty far off the numbers in some cases.

Yeah, API is the way to go... OVT is old news and really nothing more than a tool by which Domaineers attempt to DEVALUE a domain being sold by someone that doesn't know any better. A "bargain maker".

Obviously, OVT gets my hackles up. LOL!!!

Generic will always win this war. Thats why I only buy them.

But I will tip the NP'ers off to 3 trends I spoke with Matt Bentley
about that will become the next big things. You can choose to
listen.

1. LOCAL SEARCH (DATING, ORGANIZATIONS.. BOSTONNEWLYWEDS.COM)

2. CITY/SERVICE (NEWYORKREMODELING.COM, OR REMODELINGNEWYORK.COM FOR SE)

3. SPACE TRAVEL (SPACETRAVELLOTS.COM, COMMERCIALSPACEAGENCY.COM)

...4. .INFO'S WILL TAKE OFF MORE BY MID 2007.


I have personally invested over $4500 this year in acquiring these new types of names, or others names to satisfy my greediness.
