    Hello MHB,

    Domain Extinction ???? Whats the subliminal message here ????

    Rather than focus on the coming (Extinction of the right of Dot gTLDs)

    Consumer Emotional spending habits always have and always will be used by the DISTINCTIVE Online Consumers worldwide. Took .COM Franchises 15 + years to get this TOP DISTINCTION.

    (Does anybody really think the new gTLDs will be around long enough to match this Strategic Online Marketing Strategy advantage, that ONLY The DISTINCTIVE .COM Franchises ENJOY ? )

    Your Slick Ad Man and Slick Google.com along with their symbiotic partners the SEO Manipulators ,along with Slick unproven Registrars are spending millions on Media Hype trying to accomplish this feat.

    Does this seem rational that these .COM Franchise Holders would attack their own .COM Profit Centers ? Or would it be more Rational to use the gTLDs as competitive weapons on their smaller competitors hoping they swallow the gTLD Kool-Aid, by adopting these inferior gTLD right of the Dot Addresses, that everyone outside the domaining Industry knows consumers will not use for Online spending transactions?

    .COM Franchise Holders are waking up to this search Engine power grab, and the DOJ is breathing down the neck of this whole fiasco. Meanwhile Consumers as well as small and large companies are using .COM Franchise Addresses and Us Government .COM addresses, such as usps.com for example. for their SAFE Online purchases. A trend that the Smart Online Marketers know will continue. All this confusion will send more Online Businesses to the SAFETY and RELIABILITY of the proven .COM Business Model.

    Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)

    does anyone remember .nu? i remember it coming out in 1999 or maybe 2000. lots of sites popped up using them but it didn’t last long.

    Thanks for reposting our infographic and for your comments.

    No subliminal message was meant by our reference to ‘Domain extinction’ – we just wanted to try and visualise how domain names have evolved and state that not all domain names have survived. I’m sure the same will probably be true for the new gTLDs, some will be successful and others won’t.
