Amazon Opens Registration For .BOT Domain Name (amazonregistry.com)
Amazon began accepting registration requests for .BOT domain name from the public this week as the e-commerce giant comes to realize the potential of the top level domain name it secured rights for two years ago. For now, Amazon is keeping the registration for .BOT domains limited. "Creators with published bots who use Amazon Lex, Microsoft Bot Framework and Dialogflow can validate a bot and register a .BOT domain name," the company said, noting that the limited registration phase would end on March 30, 2018. At the time of registration, Amazon requires users to sign into their Amazon account and validate their published bot.

Dot BOT.
I didn't know Amazon was in control of who can register domain names on any domain. When did this happen?

Damping absorbs vibrations. Dampening is caused by moisture.
A domain only for those who use products from certain vendors? It will die. Even if these "bots" take off, there will be competitors. They won't be using the bot domain, so the bot domain won't be important. So why bother with it. And then the vendors themselves find something new to sell, and ditch this. Skip it, that is my advice.
I can the entire *.bot domain and won't have to worry as much about spyware and the ability of bots to use spyware.

Where nerdy bots get stuff that matters.
Is this a trick?
is there a quick guide how to set-up a bot in AWS? This seems to be a requirement.
Troll-bots trolling troll-bots. Click-bots clicking ads made by ad-bots, and 'social media' posts made by shill-bots. Chat-bots chatting with other chat-bots, and not a single human being in sight. Server farms full of servers running bots who only interact with other bots, none of them even remotely aware they're just other bots. Everyone will wonder why nobody is actually making any money or making any sales, and they'll claim it's all because of piracy, meanwhile the bots just keep interacting with other bots. Decades go by and most people have forgotten there was a thing called the Internet, because it because 99% SPAM and bots and all the humans got bored and went off to do something else.
A day will come when a major machine or machines, malfunctions and holds up the assembly line. The person or persons who repair them will at the same time encounter something that impedes them from being able to fix them. Then, and only then, will they appreciate the over lookers of each machine.

What's the price of a .bot?
Come back when you have support for my super totally real quantum computer language I wrote when I was 10.
My framework can run on a TI-80 and not break a sweat.
I bet you don't even know BASIC.
Fukken nerds.

Nice Amazon....way to keep the small people down.
I'm looking through the list of companies and they all are linked to the same investment fund... ... why should bot domains be "limited" to a small community of cousins' businesses? Remember: Bill Gates III was the son of the richest lawyer in Seattle Washington and Billy drove a green Porsche to Harvard before meeting Paul Allen. There's the MicroSoft connection. The further you dig the more it is obvious this whole industry is controlled. Where is Amazon located? Where is Apple located? Does Oracle also have an office in Seattle? What about IBM?
What of the remaining 99.99% of humans who dislike human trafficking, never want to be in the number 1 state for missing persons with rail way tracks that grow human body parts overnight like mushrooms? .bot should never be in Amazon's hands.
Might as well have given that TLD to the Red Cross, or Queen of England, or the Bushs, or Obama, or Hillary/Bill Clinton or even the Pope - Jeff has been gifted enough tax payer money for zero public benefit.
Thus this is a good example of the corruption in the I.T. industry. Talk about identifying a golden goose for a public commodity and handing it to Seattle Clowns In America....
Come on...

we could raise money to buy slash.bot..... https://igg.me/at/buyslashbot
The whole domain industry is one big scam. Charging outrageous amounts for a few characters in a database.
No doubt greedy people will fall for it thinking they can profit on certain names; holding onto them often for years only to discover no one wants them.
$750 staring price seems steep for .bot, but at least it will slow down the speculators.
Because BOT.NET was already taken!
