Los Angeles Gets Own TLD
DM420 writes "On June 9th, Los Angeles officially becomes the world's first city to have its own Internet domain.Great to hear since one day I hope to be an owner of my own TLD and this is a step in the right direction. ;)
The registry is located at www.la and further details at DMnews.com" Looks like an Irish firm made a deal with Laos to use the .la TLD. Looks to be on the pricier side of domains, though.
Why do we need more top level domains?
.movie TLD, maybe they could quit polluting .com?
This isn't a new TLD, it's an old one that's been sold.
Personally, the new TLD I'd like to see is "movie", as in www.spider-man.movie or www.matrix.movie or www.lotr.movie. It should be available to movie producers only (not just Hollywood studios, but independent and foreign as well).
Every movie has a web site now, and none of the URLs are consistent at all. If they had a
$x='S24;r)>63/* h@<5+oZ)32"5cz';$me='phroggy'x$];
$x=~y+ -xz+\0-Tx+;print$_^chop$me for split'',$x;
And even beter, look at the source of the FA: The Online Newspaper of Record for Direct Marketers. They sound like a group we'd all like to help promote their scummy plan to deprive a whole fourth world country of their domain (yes, I know they bought it, so did 18th C slavers when buying their merchandise). So now there's a "yahoo.la", etc, etc. That really fills a need.
