There are over 1,000 new domain suffixes coming to
the World Wide Web.
Soon the halcyon days of .com,.org, and .edu.will be gone; Instead will
be bombarded by .london, .coffee. and .guitars among hundreds of others.
I signed onto GoDaddy (my favorite purveyor of domain names) and was
greeted by this:
I did a search to find out more and found nic.club, which is dedicated to the dot club url
suffix. Here is some of what they tell you, .Club
is a new generic top level domain name that will be issued - - membership
organizations and others will be able to buy .Club names such as
book.club, yacht.club, OrangeCountyGolf.club or any other name with the
.CLUB extension.
We
are .CLUB - the
ideal domain extension for the social world we live in. The
Internet
has connected us in ways we never dreamed of. Everyday,
communities
and groups are forming around every imaginable interest. Whether
a
tribe of 2 or 2000, there�s never been a better, easier time for people
to come together around a common passion. There�s never been a
better
time to be a part of a club. Soon you�ll be able to get the perfect
yourname.club address � a URL that has meaning and marketing value -- a
URL that immediately tells the world you are about people sharing a
common interest, whatever that passion may be.
These new domains are being teed up as an international movement that
will take advantage of people's proclivity to associate with
colleagues, peers, trades, and causes - with over 1,000 new suffixes
the Internet is set to go through yet another expansion powered by a
whole new set of choices. This is another new technological aid
to
make it easier for everyone to network, find each other, and share what
they know with other like-minded people with a common pursuit or
passion.
Have you thought about expanding your own horizons dramatically? Is
there a move you could make taht would open up new vistas on an
exponential scale?
I decided that if
I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its
beauty.
- Georgia O'Keeffe
