The proliferation of new TLDs is already, quickly reducing some interesting shibboleths of the web. In a few years, young audiences won't be expected to realize how awkward and silly mid-'90s through '00s movie and TV show dialogue seemed when the writers threw in silly TLDs to round out their jargon. That some domain name ends in .ponycorn won't seem preposterous and silly. Probably an opportunity for someone to pick up some of the more memorable fake TLDs from recent history. I do also wonder how it impacts organizations that have used internal TLDs to manage their intranets, e.g. the FBI's .fbi. There have to be collisions at some point, right? And as the amount of fanfare with each new TLD falls, it seems likely that some of those things could get missed, and lead to some interesting vulnerabilities. |
