    have your bought a .sexy domain?

    or a .photo?

    i do not think people will type it in.

    if you see ftyftyftftyt.com then you know its a domain, but fytftyftyfty.sexy or yuugyugyu.photo does not look like a domain name.

          I think .ventures and .diamonds are realy bad. as i cannot think more than a handfull of people will want them.

          i would have got eng.land if it had been free.

          or bmx.bike or motor.bike

          but thats all

            It won't be long before .com will be outdated and the tld will have to be relevant.

              yeah because there will be a tld for absolutely every niche out there...i guess the poor bastards who's market can't justify their own tld will have to stick with poor old .com. these greedy bastards are keeping all the good ones for themselves anyways. some of the lists of domains that people bought in these new tlds were terrible.

                They're all terrible.

                .com will stay king. People buying these will discover how shitty a .shit can be soon enough.

                In the meantime, I hope more people buy those related to my domains so that I can get all the type-ins to my .coms to profit from them.

                    Ya, I think domains will be like phone area codes in a five years
                    I think it's a good idea to pick up some you may want to use later, but don't buy any thinking your going make big money later.

                      Huh? Mind explaining what you mean?

                      i see no advantage in using something like safety.first over safetyfirst.com.

                                  no, its reserved by the registry...like most decent domains.

                                    the one I tried said it was available , I thought it was strange that it was.

                                      That must be a premium name that will be auctioned off during the sunrise period.

                                      The days of hitting the ''jackpot'' on a domain name are over

                                      I think a lot of these new gTLDS are intended to be an empowerment of the Internet public.

                                      Many of the new gTLDS will be failures based on the old domain model.

                                      The gTLDs that are trademarks like .google are for identity and security.

                                      The New gTLDs, like .sexy as an example, are categorizations. The thinking is that the domain itself will be searchable and that the TLD will not have to compete with every other gTLD name string.

                                      Who knows, one day Google (other search engines too ) may filter your results: allintld:sexy hot girls

                                          Everything has to start somewhere. The spread of top level domains will only broaden over time and as the new generation of Internet users grow up with the concept that a domain can be almost anything (other than a .com etc) then the days of .com being king will be at an end.

                                              i see it more like this. .com = city center. its has the most valuable real estate but its crowded and many can't afford to live there, so people build suburbs(new gtlds) they aren't worth as much though still have some value but since you can keep building more and more they don't appreciate in value like real estate in the city center.
                                              you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                A lot of folks discuss these names from a speculative standpoint: you want to buy low and sell high...

                                                That's nice and all, but look at it from a developers' viewpoint and consumers' view too:

                                                Developers want the names because the "good dot coms have all been taken" and because they want search relevance

                                                Consumers -- your customers -- on the other hand, will (rightfully so) see these realms as the home of spam and doorway pages, typically run by foreigners, on the wrong side of the tracks, as it were.

                                                But hey, good luck with all of that

                                                    I think your logic here is baseless and flawed.
                                                    The new gTLDs are going be costly as compared to the cheap annual rates (for the first year at least) as was the case with gTLDs like .info that were used for spam with some keyword association.

                                                    Spammers buy large amounts of cheap throw-away domains as the domain FQDN name (as well as associate IP adresses) gets blacklisted or deindexed fast -- spam domain names are highly perishable items.

                                                    That said, you are correct that Domaineers are not enthusiastic about speculating in what over time may be more than 500 approved new gTLDs. I think Domineers are concerned about the possibility of the lessening of the value of their portfolios by the availability of new desirable names in the new gTLD strings -- dilution of assets. There will be a severe downward spiral of long held premium names' values. Once developers see that they can get desirable names in the new gTLDs the questions of SEO value will become immaterial by content relevancy.

                                                    The new Registries being applied for in the new gTLDs, notwithstanding the trademark gTLD applications, e.g.; .google, .ibm, .ford, .citi, .hyatt, et. al, are investing over $1 million dollars each as successful applicant -- and that is just to open the doors for business. The additional start up costs for marketing and registry services will equal that in the first year or two.

                                                    In overview, collectively: The new gTLDs will be a $1 billion+ venture capital investment. Assuming it has not been well thought out is foolish ...

                                                        you assume brands will use these but in reality they just want to make sure they have them. 185k is nothing to them, so win or lose it doesn't matter. you won't see ford switch from using ford.com to something.ford...what do they put before the dot anyways?? thats what i can't figure out. it might work for promotional reasons special.ford but as for a main site...i am at a loss. some suggest www.ford but that seems outdated and odd. some say ford.ford but again, makes no sense to use that vs ford.com...

                                                        as for regular gtld domains...domainers are buying the majority of them with dreams of flipping them for big bucks. they will be dropping them next year.
                                                        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                          Well, the domaineers are welcome to help defer the initial capitalization costs.

                                                          FYI, $186 thousand is just the application's entry fees -- if the application is approved the costs are higher but the trademark vanity gTLDs are immaterial as they represent a minor investment to large businesses.

                                                          The new Trademark Clearinghouse requirements of registries and registrars will protect of trademark containing names being registered -- new rules.

                                                          As far as any SEO value in these new gTLDs that remains to be seen. I think a lot of SEO value will be content oriented.
                                                          • If a new gTLD attracts domain operators with active domains producing real content -- they will succeed.
                                                          • If a new gTLD attracts domain operators just trying to make money with EMDs or keyword oriented domain names they will probably fall by the wayside in time.

                                                          Perhaps, the new availability of memorable names will change the way people use the web -- .sexy (just an example) may become your preferred ''brand''. This may be one reason for .ford and the like

                                                            i think in general these new gtlds work best with word combinations like hi.sexy, or ami.sexy, etc but these combos are highly limited to a few hundred per gtld (many of which are reserved by the registry or have premium renewals of 200-300 per year) which that alone won't be enough to sustain profitability. and when you start using it like traditional gtlds, they lose any advantage they had.
                                                            you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                              Speculators (domain registries and buyers who only intend to resell the name rather than develop a site) have a very different perspective than developers and more importantly consumers.

                                                              Most of these (non trademark) initiatives are cash grabs preying on "opportunity seekers"

                                                                It will be interesting to see if porn.sexy sells for in the registry's sunrise auction, if it sells initially, and for how much.

                                                                It will be more interesting to see what is done with it and how it is marketed, should it sell.

                                                                porn.sexy or porn.gay seem like brandable names to me. porn.shop does not seem branded ...

                                                                My best advice is to file trademarks now to protect your valued domain brands that may not be trademarked -- at least if they are trademarked and registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse they will be safe from cybersquatting in many gTLDs.
