“Alphabet revealed abc.xyz–a move that could signal an end to .com” (2015)
- Festro 8y agoWow, hindsight is 20/20 eh? Another good quote from the incredibly optimistic article: “Obviously, Google believes in it if they’re rebranding on .xyz,” No, they just thought that having abc.xyz would be a cute thing to do for their parent company called 'Alphabet'. It's just a play on words as it were. Suggesting it would cause a new .xyz bubble is actually kind of insane.
- PrimeDirective 8y agoMy thoughts exactly. The problem with creating new TLDs is that .com/.org/.net/.country is so engraved into people's minds as to what is a domain, that whenever someone sees URLs like escape.ninja or even the ridiculous abc.xyz (which is just self-indulgence), they don't even register as something you could enter in your address bar. Unless maybe you add http(s) in front.
