LinkedIn: a good news for .CLUB domain names
I am a new gTLD Consultant based in Paris. "New gTLD" stands for "new generic Top-Level Domains" from the ICANN new gTLD program. They are new domain name extensions such as ".consulting" (instead of ".com").
A scarry business model coming for Round 2 of the ICANN new gTLD program?
Extract: "If losing an auction has become a way to recover part of the money invested in a new domain name extension, let's not forget that applying does cost $185,000.00 only (a little more actually because the ICANN has been very slow in launching its new gTLD program and some entrepreneurs lost a lot of money waiting for a launch date), it has also become a way to ... earn a lot more money, even much more when rich applicants are many and definitely want to win their domain name extension in the auction".

Good news for .CLUB domain names
LinkedIn is a fantastic tool because it allows to paste a hyperlink in the "discussion title "field to catch an article. Once the "discussion title" is modified with a nice Title, more details can be added below to initiate the discussion.
It is exactly what the 1890 subscribers of the "New generic Top-Level Domains" group do on LinkedIn everyday.
The GOOD news
Until vey recently, it was possible to paste a URL or a domain name using the .com extension and I could make it work with .consulting domains too but for other TLDs, I had to proceed a different way and generate another URL.
LinkedIn now works with .CLUB domain names and it makes it much faster to use any content published on internet using a .CLUB domain name to initiate a discussion on the basis of an article.
How to proceed in a LinkedIn group:
- Copy your .club URL;
- Paste it in the "discussion title" field (and wait for 5 seconds);
- Option: add details below;
- Click on "Share".
Done :-)
