An original domain idea for anyone who wants it

    Hi,

    I have enough domains, here:
    asdfTV.COM is available (as of this moment)

    The first four letters are very familar to anyone who ever learned how to type on a keyboard, and the Internet is 'merging' with TV more every day now.

    Enjoy :)

    • It is an original idea with some possible value
    • I own enough domains already
    • Anyone interested can be the first to grab it (at Godaddy or somewhere)

    That's all, your question is not a problem :)

    Thanks for the info...I do believe that .tv has long term value (not for a quick reseller) also thinking that 3/4 characters .mobi migth be worth looking into!

    To me, .tv domains will generate confusion if used for something unlerated to Television unless you are from Tuvalu and wish to register it for a local business. Well, I should have probably started by pointing out that gemini was actually suggesting a .com, not a .tv ;)

    I would also hold back before rushing to buy a .mobi..

    It's a 6 LLLLLL .com
    asdfTV.com
    ~~~~

    A) Either you are seeing why I already have too many domains :rolleyes:

    B) ...or this 'free offer' will be worth at least a few $$$ someday.
    The Internet and TV are "merging big time."
    Do you know about BrightCove.com?
    They are leader in Next Generation Internet TV
    (affiliate program not launched yet, as of a month ago, but they will be huge!)

    is this part of a bet that you are going to win if the domain gets registered? :)
    By the way, "QWERTV.COM" sounds better, only unavailable, eh.

    No, it just shows why I have too many domains.
    I would have bought it 6 months ago, lets see if anyone does now :p
    ~~~~~~~~~~

    /ps. (To anyone) Don't forget to tip me 20% when your niche TV network makes big $$$.

    Boy do I feel stupid...I thought you were referring to asdf.tv
    Is there any particular reason..I have been noticing on some registrars that registering a .mobi is the same price as .com...makes me think why the same price as a .com whynot as a .info etc?

    (I think) The company, country, or organization sets a 'base value', and it is not ever possible for most extensions to sell as cheap as .info

    .mobi will become cheap eventually.
    I am not empowered to make any predictions here, just that I personally value .info for the simple reason that it is meaningful while "mobi", well... it is not a gramatically valid abbreviation of "mobile" so what else does it stand for?

    I can understand, every business model needs a chance, but what if they start selling .mo .mob .mobil all together. I'd suggest that they stick to a common rule otherwise we'll end up full of junky names. Need to talk to the English teachers sometimes, too.. For the least reason that a reputable company will be forced to buy the useless "companyname.mobi" to protect it's name/brand/trademark even though chances that the domain will be actually used aren't that big. What's wrong with using a .com for mobile sites..

    You are right we have too many choices in extensions.
    People forget a domain is just a file space on a computer, not much more.
