.info is better than .com - surely you're not serious???????????

as serious as the first .com investors who had the foresight to see .com and the internet could work - and to tell all those (most of the people) who would scoff at their suggestions that it was a worthy investment and that it had great potential

but to be honest - i love the mindless devotion to .com evidenced by many here

less competion for the most sensible and international extension in existence.

.info

Not mindless, just realistic.

if you stick to what is now (or really what was now), you won't be ready for what will be


.infos are sensible on the information superhighway and they are selling.

They are not like tv's or ws's or some glorified country code.

In spite of a terrible economy with unprecedented disasters occurring coupled with a disastrous rollout process with many names still locked up, .infos are selling.

With its inherent multilingualness, its meaning information (the point of the internet), there is no better extension possible.

Granted, .com has been branded to mean internet, but if ever there was an extension that could overcome that brand strength, if it can be overcome, it is .info.

We'll see.

Just because they're selling, to a limited extent, doesn't make them any good.

I wish you well, but believe you are wrong with a capital W.

.info was never intended to overtake .com, or to be more powerful as a brand.

.com= commercial

.info=information

Theres no way getting around it, info means information. If a site was called amazon.info, you would immediately think it was information about the Amazon river, or information regarding your amazon.com shipment.

You are entitled to your appraisals...

You're with tee. Tee appraised compra.info at 10-20k!

You, also, are entitled to your opinion, but I had no idea made up vanity names in .info were worth 10-20k:laugh:

Thanks Ed. You have a lot of company in believing I'm wrong.

.Com doesnt mean anything as an abbreviation that is commonly known. What? Commercial? Probably the single most unused abbreviation of all time.

Its strength is in brand. And it's very strong.


Information is everything.

It encompasses everything and is the most valuable commodity there is.

It is through information that we make purchases or have sex.

It is the gate through which we make our decisions.

It is a quantum leap above the limited field of the commercial or commerce.

Information is everything. To say info is a general tld is understated it quite a bit. There is no more relevant or trustworthy sounding extension on the internet.

It just makes sense.

But again, its still early and this is just my personal speculation. I could be wrong. But I believe .info will be a major contender especially internationally at first, then globally.

Well see.

There is no site @ compra.info.

Compra, BTW, is not a made up name, it means "buy" in Spanish (not the verb, but the noun, as in "that was a great buy").

I think that .info is a strong extension, not as strong as .net, but stronger than .biz and the ccTLDs. Consider that "star.info" has recieved offers of $4k.

I disagree with Tee, however, in that I do not think it will ever surpass .com. My question to Tee is: what developed sites are there right now that use the .info extension? There are a few, but not many. The vast majority of .infos have been purchased either by speculators or by companies to protect their brand names (but not to develop). The .coms, of course, were not initially purchased by speculators, but by actual companies who intended to use them.

Compra is a word.

Imo, the only names worth registering are generic words or phrases regardless of extension. Many think .com somehow increases the worth of a crap name. It doesn't.

.Com is the most valuable extension but generics in other extensions can work too. I think the people that pay for the ".com or nothing attitude" are the speculators who cling to .com, register crap names, and waste their money.

Get the valuable .com but if you can get a good generic in another extension - take a chance. Beats a crap .com anyday most times.

It will be the scarcity of .com that does .com in. With .info getting more exposure, because its cheaper to get resell wise generally, its natural strength will be allowed to come into play - mainly that it makes sense and intenationally too - and sounds trustworthy. It wont require massive corporate spending as it already means information. On the information superhighway no less. Built in brand coupled with a make senseness tripled with .com unavailablity = high recognition for an extension that has natural meaning.

Its just a matter of time. A few high profile resales.

There are not many corporates in the us using it yet. Mostly in europe. It seems info will conquer internationally first then zap here in the us last. Again, it will take some more recognition. I imagine some events will happen simultaneously. A few high profile resales, maybe a successful startup or two - but people wont just abandon their .coms. I believe they will see the effectiveness of .info in marketing and as a corporate site and then incorporate it into their approach. I think .info at first will be low level webmasters and startup companies.

I beleieve the first thing corporates will learn is info is a more consumer friendly sounding and looking extension. Highly clickable. Which can very good for the pocket.

They will follow the money.

The problem with dinheiro.info is that it has two strikes against it. It is a .info (which I understand is not a problem for Tee) and it is in Portuguese.

I do think that it is worth something, but I wouldn't want to put a dollar figure on it right now. You should probably hold on to it for a year or two, and see how .info has matured.
