[Dondomainer]

Depends on the quality

Ah i see the lost battle against reality is still being waged by the 2 inhouse residents and a couple of new faces joining them in this most heroic battle to stay with Kodak and never to surrender to Digital

Your post is funny, but Kodak is a poor comparison. New extensions work exactly the 'old' ones, there is no technological improvement at all. But with the instability that has been brought to the DNS, you can now be certain that some TLDs won't survive. Those who built a web presence on shifting sands might regret they traded the Kodak for a Digital Mirage.
All extensions are technically equal, but some are more equal than others when it comes to their track record.

8 . I can't contact that man anymore who said to only invest in legacy tld's, where is he ?!

It's funny, but if you look at the new TLD hype threads from the last ten years, the cheerleaders are all gone, along with those who blindly followed the poor advice handed out by people with little or no previous experience of domain sales. The dropout rate is high in domaining.

A reasonable person will tell you to diversify your investments and keep a balanced portfolio, that means you'd rather concentrate on proven extensions and limit your exposure to unproven things. It could mean 5-10% of your available funds for example. Gambling it all on new extensions will most likely not pan out well but what do I know.
Diversify doesn't mean one should buy anything just for the sake of diversification.

Reality check: look at what end users are using, what they are buying. Look at businesses around you, do they use .xyz ? They don't. Will they ? Ask them just to see their reaction

Businesses do not use xyz. Period.

Hey, here is a question.

For anybody with knowledge of Chinese. Does "XYZ" stand for something, since they all are "Chinese Premium" letters?

For English, yes, there is certain disadvantage compared to .com or .org or .net, which are easily pronounceable and you don't have to say "dot Ci Ou Em", although you hear sometimes over the radio " Ou aR Gi". With XYZ you have to sound out every time.

Hello!

I read that: XYZ is an acronym for the phrase "XiaoYuZhou" which translates into “little universe”...

 

[Recons.Com]

That should make lots of sense ) companyname.littleuniverse ))

 

[RozasMD]

This thread inspired me to register Fanclub.XYZ

Not joking, really registered it. I did get some XYZ domains. I'm not sure where it's going but I think it might be worth a try. Big investments seem too risky to me in this moment though.

Onapp is a defensive registration. The onapp.com is their official website.

 

[JB Lions]

[jedaprin]

It would be a great idea to build a good company with an xyz domain name,
Imagine if we all put our ideas together we could build a pretty amazing website

 

[thebutler]

I bought my first. They are $1 at Moniker.com right now.

According to you you are defensive, right. but why if xyz is a bad extension ( as many people say )why you consider register for .xyz and not for .club among other extensions with better opinion from other .com domainers.

The answer is simple : Economic interests nothing to do with an objective opinion. Unfortunately, this world is a very nasty dark side.

we all know Xyz is good and will have huge return if all goes well
