    I was always turned on by it :)

    I think there are plenty of good names there still.

    But I'm not sure if anyone can register them.
    So far I've only seen TV station having the .tv domains and .. well porn sites.

    Anyone can register them. They do cost more though, and I don't think you can register them for more than a year a time. But there are still some great names left in the TV TLD pool.

    If you get creative, you can come up with something good... Just like how Deli.icio.us pulled off their name.

    I've heard about it 3-4 years ago, and up to now I haven't heard a big tv company using .tv :)

    I don't even watch TV and I got one, v7ndotcom-elursrebmem.tv. :D:D:D:D It just makes it easior to get a domain name when what you want is taken at the other extensions!!!

    That's ok. I have collection of abot 500 different beer bottles from around the world. Friends see it and think I'm an alcoholic. I can't imagine what they would think if I had a collection human remains!
