The New Bling...

Forget the Ferrari, the Tiffany diamonds, the private media room in your $50mil estate.

Pony up the cash to have your own TLD. Yea baby. Sweet.

Seriously, I guess I am somewhat bearish on this "boom" considering the cost. I mean I won't have a .mort TLD any time soon at that cost.

But sure you could see .ibm or .msft or whatever.

Wait for it....let the branding begin!

drink.pepsi
intel.inside
citi.bank
visit.nyc
power.mac
chargers.nfl
ducks.nhl
angels.mlb

Those are just a few organizations that easily have 500k lying around, plus another 100k for some servers to get a hold of such a domain - and control it.

And I wouldn't be surprised that big sites like ebay or google buy their own domains.

maps.google
mail.google
computers.ebay
dvd.ebay

Or....

buy.dell
watch.nbc
mobile.att
ship.ups

This is going to be a big corporate grab!

you know it doesnt seem that bad the way you put it

i mean whats the point of domains to start with
isnt to to make it easyer for us no computers to remeber the address of a site ?

in that respect it makes sense
