.tv Why the craze?

[user-7256]

Pardon my ignorance but is it just me or why do I see no value in .tv domains?

How come GreatDomains favors .tv over .us?

 

[HHDomains]

They probably favor .tv over .us because .tv domains are available to anyone whereas .us domains are only available to US citizens.

 

[Sam]

they favor .tv plain and simple since .tv is VERISIGN OWNED!!!!

 

[gamehouse]

One reason could be: both .tv corporation and GD are owned by versign.

See for yourself

What everyone above says is true. See for yourself. Look by the big Tv, and by GreatDomains on their websites. You will see "A VeriSign Company". Both are owned by the same company, VeriSign. They also own Namepros....... just kidding!!!! Ha!!! Jeff will be mad at me!!!

Develop (or make plans to develop) your .TV & .CC domains, generally speaking IMHO! :talk:

I think there's quite a few positives in regards to that tld, myself. Maybe that's why they are pushing it.

 

[equity78]

Well I guess I will pardon you because I can only assume it is ignorance to see no value in .tv domains.

2005 which extension had the highest reported sale ?
a) .us
b) .info
c) .biz
d) .tv

ANSWER D .tv travel.tv $65,000

There is no craze or fad has others have claimed, there are a group of interested people here in .tv. Mainly becuase I sponsored a thread and then RJ allowed me to start a sub forum in conjunction with Namepros. Namepros is by far thee definitive source for info on .TV. .tv is talked about very little eslewhere on the other forums(Thank God)

.tv is not really a domainer ext but to use domainer metrics a LLL.us may go for $100 a LLL.info for $200 to $300 LLL.tv regged all the time at $750.
Many .tv sales are not reported because they are usually by end users not other domainers.

Another difference is .tv ers are glad others don't like the extension unlike others spamming forums buy idns's, buy .biz etc..........

AND it is not a secret that Verisign owns Great Domains and DOT TV just so long as one can read it is easy to figure out, no mystery.

 

[Carlton]

Pardon my ignorance ...

.TV is easily recognized by the public and is logical as a domain extension. There is much value in it as will become more readily apparent ahead ... even to the uninformed, .

 

[ATL.tv]

Why.

This is an old article, but still offers a good bit of logic:

http://www.forbes.com/2000/04/26/feat.html

 

[dgridley]

Exactly.. and it's exactly that sort of bias that hurts GD's credibility as a broker in my opinion.

.tv does have some obvious value tho if used correctly.. I wouldn't see much value in asparagus.tv for example as opposed to whatson.tv or similar.

they favor .tv plain and simple since .tv is VERISIGN OWNED!!!!

 

[equity78]

threads.tv- the original exclusive .tv TLD forum

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL but nice try

 

[ATL.tv]

hence the word "exclusive"

 

[yes]

[gamehouse]

OVT results are one thing, how much general public know about these extentsions is another thing.

For example, if you say domain.us to your friend, he would think okay something or some business related to USA

But if you say domain.tv to your friend, he would right away know that it has something to show from .tv relates to television

Two interesting points.

Let us say world population is 6 billion, I bet at least 3 billion know what is television. How many would know what is "us'

I think we need a refreshing getaway from .com with all the names around and I believe .tv gives that refreshing getaway. Like type something different at the end of web addresses.

:imho:

[equity78]

hence the word "exclusive"

First off I was really just teasing aaa althought this is exclusively .tv just happens to be a part of NP because we did not want to have a forum that competed and I wanted to partner with RJ. BUt yuo have been a great addition to this forum you have some great .tv names all the best with them .

 

[DNWizardX9]

io.tv Cablevision uses this for their internet

 

[equity78]

Let us say world population is 6 billion, I bet at least 3 billion know what is television. How many would know what is "us'

I would say 5.9 billion, .tv the most recognized two phrase breaking all language barriers

 

[user-7256]

I guess you guys have a point... I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive!
