New ICANN TLDs Are Live

BenBenBen writes "According to this story on the BBC, several of the new ICANN top level domains now have sites available. Examples are visa.info and afilias.info. " I'm still waiting to get my 'dot' TLD. The article doesn't say much new except it tells us a few biz and info sites that you can use if you just wanna see a new TLD working. I gotta say, it's pretty surreal.

Once you get the 'dot' TLD, you can finally move slashdot to slashdot.dot. That will be even more fun to say around the uninitiated.

Can you imagine yourself saying h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slash-dot-dot-dot to unaware cow-orker? Yeah, I know it should have extra slash in the end but it sounds better this way.

I'm still waiting for

.sex?

[zarathustra93]

Does this mean that it would finally be http://www.goat.sex instead of http://www.goatse.cx? It would truly be the end of an era on slashdot if that happened :-)

> I think that icann should stop bullying people around and let some of the rouge TLD's in.

Yes, but if they allow rouge now they'll end up having to allow all kind of other crazy colors later, so they need to hold the line as long as they can.

Re:What is .int?

[Brainchild]

Its used for International Organizations, such as the United Nations [un.int].

Not to be confused with the United Nations Special Interest Group for Networking Educational Districts [unsigned.int].

(You may now groan).

.www TLD

[cr@ckwhore]

I'd like to see a .www TLD because it would be funny. Could you imagine the confusion of http://org.slashdot.www? That would kick ass!
