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 )

Yes i agree with that .info mid 2007 and i think you might see the return of the .biz aswell mostly because most of the premium and very good 2 words in the popular extensions have gone.

in terms of hardware: high definition TVs
in terms of contents: still always "sex, politics and religion"

macau is the next big thing, all those new casino's battling for customers, i want my share of thier gambling billions :sold:

how much money are the new casino's going to spend on international marketing and promotion? the best,most cost effective way is via the internet and domain names :imho:

OJ's confession and upcoming televised interview. If you think I'm kidding, just Google "If I Did It" with quotes! What a turd OJ Simpson is!

I just registered OJSimpsons.com! It was available, believe it or not! :p It will become a parody site if all goes well!

Oops, I see in this morning's news (local) that Rupert & Co have canned the project. Perhaps a "fan site"???

I think the next big think will be bin laden opening a forum :P

Interesting, not a single person responded .MOBI

Yep, this is blatant troll-bait

The next big thing will be Parakey. It (or something very similar) will be the end to MySpace... mark my words.

I agree with D'oh that Macau is the next big thing. no place else in the world that has that kind of potential. in fact, it's already the big thing because Macau's casino revenue has already exceeded Las Vegas this year.

The next BIG thing is Dubai Tallest skyscraper, biggest mall by 2008, best and most luxurious hotels (two seven star hotels already), Dubailand (biggest luna park on earth, including jurassic park) etc.

what ever did happen to those mad zuner's??? did they all make the millions of dollars selling trademarks or did it just die and fizzle out like i thought it would LMAO

This Zuner(.net owner ) failed miserably. But, to be fair, I have only once been able to sell a domain.

Trends ?
You (at least 95%) talk about trends that altredy are gone (in terms of domaineer), or nearly over (Space, Robots, etc..).

I sell all my concidered "trend domains" about 2-3 years before the public eaven notice the trend.

So the only way is to think foreward.
Here are some examples that might help you to brainstorm.
(to get a idea how you might approach your quest for that Trend domain)

Example 1:
- In 1890 average travel speed was 10kmh (horse)
- In 1940 it was 100 kmh (Car/Train)
- In 1999 1000kmh (Plane)
so next would be a arround 5000kmh - what will be used for it / how will we use it ?

Example 2:
- 1900 Black & White TV
- 1960 Coulor TV
- 1995 Internet and later the viral videos
- 2003 Bandwith & Storage gets dirt cheap & Mobile buisiness takes off for masses
- 2006 .mobi release
- What/How will ppl take advantige of the mobile revolution, when it gets out of infancy ?
--> Tickets.mobi is a no brainer
Think not only in mobile phones & PDAs, think about anything mobile ....
My "infotainment" domains went out last year at each with 4 digits, and the trend is still to come.

A new trend ??? Parakey ???? or better a new name for a system nobody was brave enough to touch so far --> Now B. Ross does

Any chance casinos will one day open there ?

They seem to be a future entertainment mecca.
