The Worst gtld?

[wot]

The majority are pretty awful and are likely to go belly up.

Which is your favorite worst gtld?

I will start with .desi, had no idea what it meant until I used our online search friend.

But I bought 2! Desis.desi & Pro.Desi

 

[N-A]

Apparently .global made a couple killer 5 figure deals. (DNJournal)

...that are on late 2015 drop list.

One was Apple.global (Bought by Apple) which makes no sense unless sunrise prices were more than $10K!

.CO is no longer ccTLD? Does google no longer localize country codes, or has .CO become an international extension?

Do you mean they paid alot for the names but are now letting them drop (not renewing?)

.CO is a gccTLD but for me this is a typo-TLD.

I did read somewhere that .CO is doing better than most of the newer tlds, the owners of .CO are seeing themselves as the new .COM

The same here.
The most problem when using .co domain, people always ask "Hey, are you missing an m?"

.co is a ccTLD. But it's treated like a gTLD by Google for SEO purposes, along with a few other TLDs like .cc .ws, .tv or .me I think.

Yes I think you can (still) confirm that for a site in Google Webmaster Tools.

My fav extension has not come out yet - .CON

the dot global people are contacting people looking for buyers, i guess they convinced apple it was a good idea.

What makes people think that Google controls anything. They are a data processor that steals content and rips of advertisers (well).

 

[disaac81]

I thought google treated all these tlds the same at the moment, regardless of keyword match

 

[webm]

If we look at the length and their possible usage, I don't find sense with .dictionary IMHO

 

[Canopie]

.cfd, .cityeats, .cyrmu, .bzh, .moe, .epost, .ooo, .etc..

 

[RU]

.COW is the hot new ending for web addresses being used all over the world. Whether it's a business, brand or blog, .COW is where big ideas belong! :D

In case someone types the "M" upside down.

There was a company that tried to convert the web to -com instead of the dot, you had to download their browser for the system to work, as you can imagine it never took off
