    Those preliminary results don’t look so good. I just found several decent keyword .video and .sale available at dynadot for cheap prices (.video is $25 there)…and I didn’t pull the trigger. For end-users, some of these will get picked-up, but for domain investors?…doubtful

    I think the .video space has pretty good potential for both extensive development and investment purposes. Globally relevant and a big slice of what internet users are interested in.

      No, not really. There’s already .tv, which is shorter than .video and is universally known in most languages, and it still hasn’t shown real potential beyond great keywords or two to three characters. Based on this along, I’d say .video doesn’t stand a chance.
