I had no idea ".sexy" was actually a real TLD. Huh.

  I'm intrigued. How can vim and emacs share the same tld?

    They're new! Also .jewelery, .tips, .technology, .cab, many others. http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-string...

      As there is zero real use for these TLDs, I'd be very pleased if Google and other software makers penalize them. If we're just going to do away with TLDs, might as well do it right and just open up a simple global registry so anyone can register ".<whatever>" -- versus blessing a few silly strings (.christmas, .bargains... .museum .aero).

        Wrong. Saves time. Gets rid of silly names and allows small businesses to have good tlds. Like Manhattan.bike, which a friend of mine bought for his bike store.

          I'm not sure how "Manhattan.bike" is any better than ManhattanBike.com. Or Bike.nyc. Or any other possible similar combination. It's like people think they're gonna bring the Real Name dream back to life.

        If they allowed that, would they still be charging the [0] $185,000 per ".<whatever>" gTLD like they did with the current rounds? [0] http://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy12-17may11-en.pdf http://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/proposed-opplan-bud...

          Right, so it's not much more than a racket, is it?
