Video: Examples of new gTLDs

It is the week-end and you have time to search for a new domain name at the World's Largest Registrar

There are 2 applications for .RUN

So while I was running in Paris, I wondered if there would be a TLD for runners like me…and guess what…there are 2 applications for .RUN and they are in contention:

1. First one is from dot Run Limited (Famous Four Media);
2. The other one is from Snow Park, LLC (Donuts).

There will be a .RUN Registry in the end and it will become possible to register domain names ending in .RUN (instead of .com :-). So what is the market for .RUN ? Do runners communicate on Internet? Do they need to communicate because they are runners? Is .RUN for runners only?

Un Club est un .CLUB

Les nouvelles extensions Internet ne sont plus à présenter, pourtant, on peut se demander quelles sont les véritables vocations de certaines d’entre-elles. Cela étant dit, est-il utile de se poser la question lorsque l’on n’est pas concerné par une extension dans une langue particulière ou par une extension qui ne nous représente pas ?“

New gTLDs + Root Zone Management Categories = IANA

Overview and History of the IANA Functions

How the ICANN works is sometimes difficult to understand and the IANA plays a major role in how new gTLDs technically work.

If more people start to know what the ICANN is, very few have ever heard of what the IANA is.

For those interested in knowing more about how is IANA is linked to new gTLDs, I suggest to go down to page 12 of this report and read "3.1 Root Zone Management Categories".

Google Domains: I want more for new gTLDs

The Buzz seems to be about Google Domains at the moment: Google is launching as a Registrar and will soon offer plenty of fantastic things to do with domain names. But…is there anything new with Google Domains?

I checked the features but…I found nothing that other Registrars do not already offer and I admit I expected to be a little more impressed.

So: what is missing?

What is a .ORGANIC domain name?

Strange question received this morning about LinkedIn (new gTLDs goup)

This morning I was asked about the reason why I hardly ever publish links about certain people's article in the New generic Top-Level Domains (new gTLDs) group on LinkedIn ?

Just to point it out, every single link is sent to roughly 1,600 subscribers every day and those links added to the "Manager's choice" appear on top of each email sent to its members.

My answer: I don't make choices, I just select the information I am interested in. The funny thing about this question is that just a few people know that they can post links to their articles themselves...

It is just as easy as:

1. Join the group;
2. Paste the hyperlink to your article in the object field;
3. LinkedIn then captures the link (nothing to do there);
4. Add your Title in replacement of the hyperlink;
5. Click on "share".

It is as simple as this.
