I read an article about these a day or two ago, can't remember where... A friend of mine and I were discussing it, and there are a lot of ways it could go. Movies wouldn't have to scramble for a site with their name (ie: whatisthematrix.com, or (blah)themovie.com, etc.) It also talked a lot about the.kids domains, and how sites would have to pay extra to get a domain like this. I'm totally for that, especially if it keeps young'uns out of the bad stuff. I'd like to see a tld for personal sites, one that was cheap or even free, or free with ads, or whatever..com was supposed to be commercial, and now it seems like it's everything. If these.tlds are used right, it could really open things up. The article I read (MAN i wish I could remember where) said that a lot of trademark owners were scared that they were going to lose their domains in other places, the way it was back in 94 or so.. So get ready to buy ebay.auct and mcdonalds.rest as soon as you can! ^_^
and it would be *such* a shame if some of the brittney spears fan pages got deleted... can they make a sensor that will filter her songs off of my radio? sit and spin - a daily web comic
