How many TLDs does a rainforest need, anyway? :P > Apple have won .apple, Sky have won .sky, ... the list goes on. I'm certainly particularly interested in .dev, because I'd like to have a .dev domain. I think there's a lot more people who are developers that would want a .dev than apples that would want a .apple domain ;) (I actually use /etc/hosts to map byuu.dev to my VPS' IP when I'm setting up a new box before deploying it to the world.) > Also, with regards to your concern that there is a lack of variety in available unrestricted TLDs - I disagree; if anything, there are far too many (there's hundreds!!). Still wishing someone would buy .emu for people to use. Anyone have a few hundred thousand dollars lying around for a good cause? :D |
(And .edu?)
Ideally, we would never have had more than one TLD; even before the new rounds of TLDs showed up, people found it annoying and confusing to have example.org and example.com go to two different places. Why did we need more than one TLD in the first place, other than as a license to mint money in the form of domain registration fees? I don't think it makes much sense as an organizational mechanism.
