del.icio.us had no effect on dotCom.
After all this time, dotUs is still struggling.

The kids of today are being spoonfed dotCom on every television commercial. I make it a habit of noticing every domain name splashed across the screen and 99% are dotCom.

Coporate America has spent billions branding themselves into the public’s mind with dotCom. They’re not going to suddenly switch gears to rebrand themselves simply because ICAAN wants to make more money.

**********
agree 200 %.
deli end buying the dot com anyway..isnt?
.
Mega Business plataforms (worth trillions) are built under a .com domain, from google , ebay, amazon, dell ,yahoo, intel, etc etc , even thinking about re-branding any of them sounds completely irrealistic and stupid…
New Coke anyone…?

As usual people selling the “shovels and picks” will be the only winners (and a speculator or two ) pretty much as a see the .co hoopla panning out…

“If the volume of applications received significantly exceeds 500, applications will be processed in batches and the 5-month timeline will not be met. The first batch will be limited to 500 applications and subsequent batches will be limited to 400 to account for capacity limitations due to managing extended evaluation, string contention, and other processes associated with each previous batch.

A process external to the application submission process will be employed to establish evaluation priority. This process will be based on an online ticketing system or other objective criteria.”

de.licio.us DID NOT HELP DOT US….
BUT…what was it’s effect on the keyword delicious?
YOU ARE ALL BLIND.
Let the historic records reflect the right and correct the wrong.
The domain hack is worth more than 300 times the mathematical value of dot com.
And that my friends is only with the current 300 or so available extensions.
Domain Hacks Are Priceless. (match.com) Was chipped away by (match.net) (match.info) (match.org) (match.edu) etc. then 275+ country codes.

YOU CAN’T EVER TOUCH (mat.ch)
match.net cost 100 dollars
match.com cost millions
mat.ch PRICELESS

Del.icio.us didn’t help the use of .US much either
