TLDs give a business credibility. People are much more likely to shop at foo.com than foo.info.

  But foo isn't buying '.foo' or foo.blog. I don't see how credibility is related to the new TLDs.

  people are just as likely to click foo.co.m.ru too use whatever money you were going to use on a TLD and use it on your facebook adspend, nobody is typing in addresses anymore.

    Much fun building a brand with foo.co.m.ru

      Throw in a 'u' after the 'm' and foocomuru is far from the worst brand name I've heard.

          Look at my username so you know my answer is legit. The umlaut goes over a consonant. Seriously though, I don't know how anyone names a business anymore and manages to get a reasonably relevant .com domain name. At some point we gotta give up and use these other TLDs.

  The question is if people are more likely to visit foo.blog than blog.foo.com. I don't think that is the case.
  • amelius 10y ago
    OTOH, having the ".blog" TLD allows you to start a blogging website (like Medium), and hand out domain names to your clients.

      ... Which literally describes why Automattic bought it. They own Wordpress.
