Is there a market for niche TLD domains? If so, who are the people buying / using them? "helloworld.blue" sounds completely worthless to me. Even "hello.blue" - who would buy that for more than a few hundred dollars, and for what?

Jet Blue for a humanizing rebrand campaign? Not hard to imagine a scenario.

Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot thes…

In your experience of speculating, have you come across any data about the frequency of people actually typing out domain names? I seem to be typing them less and less over time.

Are we headed towards a business phone number 515-555-5555.com being a totally sufficient unique domain name? And then well why not just skip TLDs and share IP addresses?

Love this! FYI site is broken in portrait mode iOS safari.

There’s something funny about an otherwise very advanced project being broken due to css issues. No matter how far you advance in the field you will still need to google how to center a div

We've developed the mechanisms for time travel, and are showcasing how to do so on our website...er, sorry, have to make a minor CSS adjustment ...Um, ok, wait, maybe now; try it now! Hmmm...well, it works on my firefox, what version of Safari are you on? Interesting. Have you refreshed your local cache?

...Meanwhile. lab assistant hops into time travel booth (while lead scientist fiddles with css), going back in time, and removing css from history, and pushing gemini as main "web platform" instead of the web that we know today. ;-)

People can't remember them, so they go to Google and accept whatever Google returns.

Party game idea: Pitch products based on the domain names generated by this site.

cointrauma.com : Crowdsourced counselling for cryptocurrency-related upsets. wettiness.com : Using machine learning to accurately rate the dampness of objects in photos.

You're telling me cointrauma is still available?! What a great domain for a list of ICOs! (or failed/scammy crypto projects?)
