I have a feeling that organizations that are able (financially and technically) to run their own domain (named after their brand, ie .coke or .nike) will start to seem more authoritative than those that can only afford a .com address. Companies that end up doing this will inevitably have very corporate-looking/feeling sites that give consumers confidence in the organization. This in turn, will lead to people giving more credence to the custom TLDs than to .coms.
Not sure about what the impression might be of those who register websites with a generic domain (.softdrinks, or .shoes). That seems to swing the other direction.
Seems the usefulness of owning such a custom TLD id limited to those with huge brands to protect.
- jacquesm 17y agoTo me this is just a money grab by ICANN, they had better specify how they plan to use the money that they will cash by setting up this scam for the public good.
- saturdayplace 17y agoNo doubt about the $$$ grab. I'm just thinking about the implications of having such a domain. Aside from providing the TLD system, what benefit do we have from ICANN now? And what benefit can you imagine them providing with all the potential loot from this move?
