.info will *never* make it bigtime into the public's awareness.
The public will always prefer and remember the cc tld - simple as that.
And i'm saying that *although* i'm from Germany where .info is probably used more than anywhere and although my main design site is a .info and although i'm selling .info names.
Btw - everytime i tell someone ("from the street") what my domain is people look at me in a strange kind of way as if they were thinking i had a desease or something (translated= most joe publics have never heard of an extension like .info).
You say one thing but do another. :greenconfusedw:
There are many examples of where the public did not know about something a year ago
and today it is known by just about everyone.
.com will always be king (it kills me to say that). But, other extensions will continue to expand and have value since more people are using the internet.
This example has been given many times. Think of a major city and look at the
occupied property. Downtown is .com and the other extensions are as you move
further into the suburbs.
And, the prime words or letters would be the same as the land next to the main
expressway as you move outward. They will always have value as more people
move in that direction.
The internet addresses should remain strong for the next 10 yrs. A lot could
happen after that.
And, yes. I occasionally reg and catch quality .infos. And, I will continue for the near future.
