.museum TLDs are Live

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the icann-working-hard-for-you dept.

GuNgA-DiN writes: "Several sites in .museum have now gone live: you can check out met.art.museum, stockholm.music.museum, and minnesota.science.museum, for instance. You can navigate the hierarchical structure of this TLD via index.museum, or go directly to an index page for a particular second level domain by going to that domain, e.g., art.museum. Since the .museum TLD is still in its experimental phase, these domains haven't been delegated to their registrants yet, but resolve as CNAME records in the TLD root, pointing at the other domains each site already has. Thus, .museum addresses can currently only be used as additional addresses for sites that already have some other domain. MX records haven't yet been set up, so email to these domains won't yet work."

    Isn't "museum" a little too hard for the average net user to spell correctly?
    This idea is only going to cause more problems...

    Well, the first test for a new TLD is usually this.
    Was I suprised when I got the reply "There is no sex.museum". Then where are all those banners pointing at?

    Someone should setup the dot.com.museum to display all the defunct dot bombs :)

    Why do users with IDs under 100,000 or over 700,000 usually have the most worthwhile comments?
