what is your opinion in xyz extension?
Why is it people like to talk about only .xyz ? Is it because it is already Verisign 0 XYZ 2 ? lol :P
A corporate (holding) website that normal people will never visit... How many times a day do you check that .xyz ?This is not Google buying some random domain, it is Google placing their holding company, you know the one that owns all Google related companies, onto abc.xyz
.co was good enough for Overstock, .mobi was good enough for Visa, Bofa and plenty of Fortune 500 companies...If it is good enough for Google than it really is good enough for any company or person conducting business online. This is just a fact.
Well to look at an extension this way, what does .com, .net, .org, .io, .me,.. etc. stand for or mean? And yeah, we know what they were 'supposed' to mean or stand for, but no one uses or buys them for their 'intended' meanings (except maybe by a 'very' few). So other than the new gTLDs that are actually words, 98% of legacy extensions are not used for their meanings or for making sense, they're just established and already known by the masses as an 'extension'. Extensions only really mean something to domainers, who want to trade in them, and that boils down to only caring about the most popular and coveted ones, not to what they mean.Does it make sense to you?
It doesn't to me. What does xyz stand for? Is it suppose to be cute? Maybe I am missing something.
No I don't, as I already noted - what does .com, .net, .org, .io, .me,.. etc. stand for or mean? And yeah, we know what they were 'supposed' to mean or stand for, but no one uses or buys them for their 'intended' meaningsWell. Based off what I've read on the history of the internet, .com = Commercial (or commerce), Net = Network, Org = Organization. Get my drift?
And the first 2-3 years of the existance of .com, .net, .org you didn't see them advertised on billboards or commercials. Your point being??I don't see many .anythings being advertised on billboards and commercials.
But they (businesses) 'again' are not buying or using .com for what it means (commercial), but because it's (at this time) the more popular extension.I'm pretty sure an extension does not only mean something to domainers, most businesses want to be on the best extension (which right now, is .com)
Why do two of the largest players in the industry have so many .COM domains and so few nTLDs (other than FS's TLDs held in reserve)?
what is your opinion in xyz extension?
Go ask everyone you know: "Hey, what is abc.xyz" and when more than half of them ask "what is a dot xyz?" and the remaining few just state "No idea", then you understand why Alphabet buying a dot xyz is not as big as some say it is.You are questioning the fact that the top internet company has put their holding company on .xyz domain as not a vote of confidence?
But he bought .com, not .xyz...In 1998 people said to Schwartz you'd be an idiot to invest in a name you can see in you're URL. Lol. Now look who's laughing. He invested a couple thousand and now he's a multi millionaire
Okay I get it. Schwartz looked like a fool in 1995, but he was a visionary and he ultimately won and retired to the sun.You getting my point; "you and you're entourage call investing in XYZ, the same to burning money but I call it investing."
If homeless people can become billionaires from writing books about wizards and magic then a new extension can have its fun in the internet world. Work hard and you'll play hard. Invest & manifest
Not with that attitude ... Haha
