What is the point of .web? |
Message: |
|
|
The problem with .web is that it is another .com, a free-for-all. People will rush
to register names with .web the same as they do with .com, in fact in many cases
the owners of foobar.com will register foobar.web as well. So what is the point of
.web? If .web is to mean anything it should be restricted to web design companies! I
advocate, for what it's worth, a large number of TLDs such as .travel, .cash etc.
But I am not very keen on the name.space proposal either (.nyc? Come on!)
