  • I despise the current system where ICANN lets you slap anything you want on the end of your domain. It means it’s easier to fake a company landing page and it’s a cash grab from an organization that’s supposed to be a non profit. The original domain hierarchy created easily recognizable structure where now it’s just anarchy.

    Medicare.com (and their tv commercials) was a good example of misleading people. Some cities and states are using .com sites when they should be using .gov.

    The only new TLDs I find useful are .blog and .tv (for streaming sites, not Transylvania). And not many sites are using those.






  • And product marketing pushes for product renames like this. I wonder how much this will cost Apple in international trademark fees? Apple likes to recycle existing product names to save money (AppleWorks, AppleVision, iBooks, etc). I don’t think Apple Account was an existing trademark.
