Blacknight Solutions has launched a fantastic new site on DotWhat.co that crunches the numbers on newgTLDs for the rest of us.
It provides some excellent data and a information which makes it an ideal location for anyone wanting to learn about newgTLDs and/or the antecedents of the applicants.
Data sets include newgTLD applications:
- By Region
- By Country
- By Contention
- By Community
- By Geo Location
The site also has some interesting visual representations of newgtld applications.
There really is a lot of data on site and a must visit for those interested in newgTLDs.
I had to share this recent email from ICANN re the launch of their new gTLD’s, read on an email from ICANN’s CEO; We have learned of a possible glitch in the TLD application system software that has allowed a limited number of users to view some other users’ file names and user names in certain scenarios. Out of an abundance of caution, we took the system offline to protect applicant data. We are examining how this issue occurred and considering appropriate steps forward. We apologize for any concern this may have caused and will communicate on a regular basis on our website, which can be found at: http://newgtlds.icann.org Akram Atallah????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/753650-icann-premium-gtlds-gets-off-ripper.html Chief Operating Officer ICANN **Is this a glitch or ominous signs for more to come…….. not the sort of start ICANN would have like!
Very cool! Which ones do you like?
I like a few extensions, but nothing really that shakes my belief in existing TLDs.
