hey there radioz,I checked out the pool site this is getting to be very interesting, to see how many of us domainers with these new extensions,will actually be racing to get names regged

 

[tetrapak]

Can I have .ext please? So I can reg dot.ext!

 

[katherine]

Who cares

 

[Donald Aquilano]

IMO the only one that has any staying power is.web. The rest are junk.

 

[stewie]

waste of money and time... IMO a few here and there but over all ext. won't catch so you'll be out there all by yourself with a great keyword.

goodluck
:yo:

 

[james2002]

There are a few good ones.

 

[Biggie]

only getting errors, so they must not be taking any pre-orders yet.

or every fake name i selected was reserved.


i think a lot of newbies and quite a few who've been around a minute, will loose plenty of cash on this "cyber-expansionism" plan

 

[katherine]

I've checked my PC clock, and it says we're now 3 weeks ahead of April 1st

 

[tetrapak]

I'm sure LLL.cym's will be priceless.

 

[.h2o.]

.web is the only extension worth investing in.

 

[katherine]

.web is a poor man's .net, and .net has lost most of its luster IMO

 

[ftaylor]

Don't forget .sco and .cym. The .co.uk extension covers most of the UK at the moment (England, Scotland and Wales). These 2 domains will cover Scotland and Cymru (Wales) respectively.

 

[stewie]

so thats 59 new extensions...talk about trying to flooding the market ... so much for supply and demand. hehehe no demand and too much supply.

Foolish.

Put money down on something that does not exist or has not been approved.

And some may never be approved.

It may just be me, but I can't get that stupid Search box to work, with Every extension checked-off.

When I do a keyword search, ex: "watch", it only returns the word "Watch" to your 'pre-order account' but DOES NOT say it's available in any of the extensions or not. [EDIT: I guess it forces you to click a pop-up to see the extensions being 'pre-orered' - real convenient - NOT. ...let alone, it still doesn't say if it's available. Looks like they will 'pre-order' anything and, imo, start a bidding war later.]

Does one have to UN-check all the other extensions in order to search just on 1 extension - and then have to do that each time one does a search?

Pool sure aren't doing themselves any favours by pre-maturely launching domain extensions and then suffering from performance anxiety.

[...not like anyones ever created a search engine for domains that worked before so that they would have to re-invite the wheel (and for the worse, not better).]

Is anyone surprised?

 

[.h2o.]

Actually, you do not have to put any money down when applying for these names.
