new gtlds .XYZ Featured on HBO’s Silicon Valley

[Arpit131]

The .XYZ domain name was featured on HBO’s Silicon Valley last night.
A big tech company featured in the show, Hooli, creates a new experimental division for moonshot projects called Hooli XYZ, hosted at Hooli.xyz.

The show created a website on Hooli.xyz.

The site says:
HooliXYZ = who? A select team of “XYZeniuses.”

"It also list a bunch of the projects Hooli XYZ will work on:
Self-driving cars? Flying cars? Self-flying cars? A space elevator? A cure for the AIDS virus? A non-polluting engine that runs on the AIDS virus? Are these things even possible?
Well…at HooliXYZ, we are in active discussions about the long-term feasibility of these, as well as many other projects."

paid product placement?

XYZ doesn't seem like it would be a winner in the ngtld game. But in the long-run it will be because along with .club, they are the first two to catch become popular globally.

What do you mean citation? That's my opinion.

"they are the first two to catch become popular globally" isn't an opinion, it's a statement of fact.

Replace "are" with "may be" or even "will" then it becomes an opinion.

Dot XYZ has the most regs but the number has an asterisk.

Dot Science passed Dot Club in number of regs.

And Dot Guru had a great start but having it tough on the renewals. So it's not clear at best.

Hello,

I also guess this is paid product placement, but I really have to admit that I like Daniel's efforts.

The Silicon Valley producers had a meeting and asked "which is the most ridiculous domain extension available right now" and they came to the conclusion that it was .XYZ

It's funny that the .XYZ team thinks it's special to be chosen for the show when in reality they are being mocked. It's Stupid and Hilarious!!
