    ICANN has approved the formation of the .XXX domain. These domains will cost $60/domain.

    Over 213,000 domains have been pre-reserved.

    More over at PCmag and Domain Name Wire.

    Yeah , i hear of it. But what the mean of xxx? i still have no idea with that.
    XXX is for sex or ? it just .xxx ?
    and the domain name so expensive, must be useful domain .

    I doubt they will actually move from .com to .xxx, they will only buy the .xxx to secure their domain name.

    I'm not sure people will really use it.

    Extensions are going to lose all their meaning anyway.
