Billboard.com through their parent company (VNU eMedia Inc.) have launched Billboard.biz ...
Billboard.biz is the online home for Billboard subscribers and music industry professionals. It's the home for the weekly contents of Billboard Magazine. The site features breaking news, complete listing of charts, with special coverage of Radio, Legal and International as well as Brand Marketing, Digital and Mobile entertainment, with other music industry information. Unlike Billboard.com, the Billboard.biz site covers the global music entertainment business for professionals.
I'm quite pleased to see Billboard utilize their .biz in this way. :drum:

Thats great news,

The more .tlds exposure by businesses to the public the better for us domainers.

CCtlds also are helping much.

I saw a beautiful woman walking down the street with an ugly guy the other day. Stuff happens like this all of the time. Dot biz will still be in the tank forever. If anything it helps dotcom investors....a few more alternate extention chasers will make for less competition for names that are worth something.

Look at all the changes in the internet from 1996 to 2006. Can anyone even imagine what the internet will be like in 2016? Probably any decent .com will be long gone. Everyone agrees .com is best, but you have to realize not everyone can afford the best .com for their business. Even if some can afford it, the people who own it aren't selling! So by default all other top extensions have to rise in value. Go look at alexa.com and see how many top sites AREN'T .com IT IS POSSIBLE for a non .com domain to be brandable and attract traffic if they have what people want. People WILL LEARN that there are other extensions besides .com as more other extensions get developped. YES .com is best, no one disagrees, but I wouldn't be advising everyone else to put blinders on to all other extensions. Do that yourself if you want to but the stats show that other extensions are rising in value with .com It's all supply and demand, if what you want gets too pricey you look for the next best alternative. Every shoe store can't own Shoes.com, every candy company can't own Candy.com, every mortgage company can't own Mortgage.com, so they have to go for what's next best. Do you brand your company on GreatAdviceOnCheaperLoans.com or do you use Loan.biz Which would you use? Millions of people follow Billboard and the use of Billboard.biz is nothing but great news for .biz holders of quality names. And no, I don't even own one .biz name myself.
