I am from Belarus (country behind this tld). I'd invest a lot of time into reading all documents before doing some serious project using these top domain names. We still have some problems with corruption and civil rights..

And people should probably be aware that politics can result blocking their domain for any reasons, like the .ly case, shouldn't they?

  Another no-go domain is .mm[1]. The .ly fad aside, using random, unusual TLDs is something I have a lot of problems seeing the point of. Getting a nice shorturl is fine, but you have to make damn sure that the shorturls will always work.

    Yeah, Burma, but really there are lots of other. IMO the rule is quite simple - if the tld is under control of a nic in a country having problem with freedom per western standards, better not to depend on it. However bit.ly somehow manages to successfully work regardless the theoretical risk.
