Had to figure that would happen. .EU is fucked up already anyways. Its all speculators. There aren't enough real site developers in the mix. It'll end up being a zillion PPC landing pages.

Problem with the .EU is that there isn't enough knowledge about the internet it seems and those who know, abuse it through the roof

Funny how Bob Parsons is crying about this, while he actively supporting the .xxx tld. Until he stop his own short-sighted greed with the .xxx tld., then he should just STFU on these issues

it's a disgrace what has happened. I totally disagree with his comments in the last paragraph. Makes him sound quite stupid actually considering all the shit that happened with .COM
I was thinking POOL. No evidence to back that up but they seem to have caught a lot of domains!

Bob Parsons is a complete asshole. He's so full of himself it isn't funny. If he wasn't so busy riding his high horse maybe he would've figured out a way to get more .eu domains rather than crying on his blog how the US needs to save the Internet.Comment

can't deny he's built a very successful company though. godaddy has $200+ million in annual salesOriginally posted by Manga1Comment

Yip. We can't argue with his business. He's created a very impressive company.
He does sounds like a complete dickhead with his comments though. I think he's just pissed he didn't or couldn't figure out how to grab the .EU domains!

I knew it would be messed up so I didn't bother trying to score domains, only applied for 3 names at landrush but they all failed. It's like KRL stated in this and other threads, it will be ppc and because of this .eu won't have much of a value (in the next few years) and people will avoid them imo. Even google will realise this.

Google will be cool with .EU, I imagine. But, as KRL stated, the flood of PPC pages may tarnish the name with companies and web surfers.
.EU is just another .COM wannabe, at least for now.Comment

Yeah, I am sure they will. I managed to pick up a couple of really good one-word domains without having to bid for them but most of them are in auction right now and I doubt I will actually buy any of them unless they stay under a few hundred euros.Comment

What amazes me is the hype over .eu domains. For the huge majority of people and smaller businesses in the EU they have no use or value. You tend to either market to your home crowd (so you want a .co.uk, .fr etc etc) or globally (preferably a .com) - very few concentrate on the eu as a geographic region. IMHO they are little better than a .info domain ie 95%+ will be spam sites.
I predict a lot of domain speculators soon realising they have many essentially worthless domains. Obviously this does not include the true premium names but even those I suspect will be worth less than many (especially those outside of the EU who bought them via BS companies) believe them to be.Last edited by Tipsy; 04-11-2006, 02:17 PM.Ignorance is never bliss.

pool is not an american company and if they are just providing marketing and auction services for an accredited eu registrar- then there is no problem either way. pool requires eu compliant mailing info to let you participate in the hoopla.Originally posted by TheMaster
i agree btw that going for a few thousand eu's is risky. getting up to 100 in the sunshine period though- now that would be a nice hedge. bowing out on this one would make no sense to me from a speculative position. going huge sometimes means getting that 1 crazy domain or 10 crazy domains and 30 second-teir crazy domains....InterNext Expo Domain Auction Live Now thru Feb 5
