Comments on: ICANN opening up the internet and why some don’t get it http://selfmademinds.com/200806/icann-opening-up-the-internet-and-why-some-dont-get-it/ Sharing lessons learned in business and online marketing Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:49:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Pet Doctor http://selfmademinds.com/200806/icann-opening-up-the-internet-and-why-some-dont-get-it/#comment-10651 Pet Doctor Fri, 07 Nov 2008 22:03:19 +0000 http://selfmademinds.com/?p=790#comment-10651 While I think it would be cool to have my own TLD, I think that this is just another money grab by ICANN. I seek it opening a firestorm of ridiculous lawsuits too as people start registering their names and companies try and take them away.

So, just because they <em>can</em> be used, it doesn't mean you can just hop over to godaddy and register justin.cook for $7 then. Oh, ok.

As in, could I reserve .Cook? Or .toronto? Can you get a lock on a particular extension, like a country can do now? As in, could I reserve .Cook? Or .toronto?

I've never understood though how some websites can even have only 2 letters in there domain name, i.e cj.com and lv.com they must be super valued? Sounds like hard work to me. I’ve never understood though how some websites can even have only 2 letters in there domain name, i.e cj.com and lv.com

I remember typing google.com or google.co.uk or google.de. What matters in not the number of extentions but what extentions google will give preference to.
