      From: howdHol@yaooho.com              A few years ago a ton of new top level domains were introduced. I       remember there being a big debate about the issue, but it seems to me       that the debate has withered away.              This article pushes the idea that companies should take advantage of       them:              https://www.domain.com/blog/what-are-the-new-tlds/              (Ironically, it uses the top level domain .com instead of one of the new       ones.)              I don't recall any of the more descriptive ones ever being used or       included in advertising that mentions a website.              Does anyone regularly visit a site with .yoga .actor .baby or anything       else like that?              Does anyone know if there was a bidding war over new names with these       TLDs? For instance, did someone set up tomhanks.actor or gerber.baby and       then sell out for a mint, or maybe spark a lawsuit? Or are there a       bazillion of these that were bought for $25 and now sit unused?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
