    So guys, do you agree or disagree? What is your opinion?

    PS: I know there are existing threads on .co domains, but I think this required a separate thread.

    Maybe .co is not as good as the .com but many people are buying it. I have purchased only one, auctionpro.co.

    i have point out that it's a typo issue,
    people suppose .co can be alternative to .com, definitely not in my opinion.

    .com is and always will be a domainers first port of call. it's the normal, and i can't see .co making it easier... it's just like taking the ending off domains such as .co.uk and .co.jp. Though it is novel, the only real company i can see wanting it would be fantastico ( fantasti.co ) as it would just make sense to me, whether they acquire it or not would be their choice. The only people placing hype about it are hosting companies and registrar's but again, most of the users online prefer .com and are aware of .com, i know some people that aren't even aware of domains like .tv

    I don't think .CO's are that good, but because there are so many still available they could be better in a lot of cases.

    I dont think you will get even $1 for that because there is no market yet, the ext has only just been launched. The only market at the moment is for single letter names like F.co or A.co, or premium keywords like Travel.co, Health.co or Insurance.co

    You have to be patient with new extensions and see how they pan out

    Good luck

    this domain type is good . But it is costly as compared to .com.

    Such kind of risks are inherent to any business. You win some... you lose some!
    I guess... you should consider it as a bad investment and forget about it for now.

    I believe some people here are overly fascinated with .co extension. Daniel made some real points though - We all have seen many extension come and go which promised a lot.

    overpriced and zero type in potential plus most of the good ones were reserved.
