.vc - Not the "Official .vc hype thread" - Just observations

[IAmAllanShore]

So I've long been a lukewarm supporter of .vc and its potential application for Venture Capital, and I am happy to highlight some recent .vc "progress" of sorts.

From: http://wbjournal.com/j/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3110&Itemid=139

Traditional networking - trekking to an endless string of events after long days at the office, making small talk and pressing lots of flesh - can be time consuming and doesn't always fit in the busy venture capitalist's schedule.

These days, the region's venture capitalists are finding there are easier ways to build relationships: online.

The New England Venture Network, a group founded in 1999 for young venture capitalists in New England, has launched VentureNetwork.vc, the first social networking site exclusively for the venture capital and private equity communities. (And, yes, that ".vc" domain really works.)

I do, however, take the bad with the good:
http://www.google.com/search?num=50...:en-US:official&hs=VlQ&q=site:.vc&btnG=Search

Google results for sites in the .vc namespace are limited, mostly parked, and mostly non-English, despite a sizable chunk of parked domains with the same sort of thought in mind regarding regional venture capital "plays."

It did, however, lead me to a rather complex network of parked pages:
http://www.seedcapital.vc/

They are well done, although I am not sure if that parking arrangement is unique to the .vc topic, or universal to that registrant; it is interesting, either way.

Keeping my eye on another ccTLD that will most likely come back and bite me in the keester,

Yes true, my names are parked, I would really like to see some people though who have seo'd their international names for the US search engines, post their sites! Would be great to see them, much welcomed

You dont get it. They are all like you. They have a great keyword and they think they will get clicks and traffic and all that good stuff. But it wont happen. I GUARANTEE if you were to develop and SEO your site. You would get it in the search engines way up there.

Thanks, but I never had any illusions that a parked page was going to get high clicks just because it had good keyword, I just have not bothered to develop them as it takes a lot of time and I want to know that developing them for the Americans would not be a waste of my time as I have no intention of making a site that caters for small Islands. If what you say is true then international domain rule! Cheers

No. I never said they rule. But law.ccTLD is better than ilovelaw.com or anything 2-3 words with the word law in it.
