General question:
can such emoji domain names be used as well for normal URLs for webbrowsers? (I guess "yes", but then why does the article focus that much only on email-addresses?)
If yes, does anybody have any example? (I'm testing a web-crawler => I would like to test it against such emoji-domains...)
I think that I'm missing something. General question: can such emoji domain names be used as well for normal URLs for webbrowsers? (I guess "yes", but then why does the article focus that much only on email-addresses?) If yes, does anybody have any example? (I'm testing a web-crawler => I would like to test it against such emoji-domains...)
And sadly, you can't post emoji on hackernews comments :(

By the way, we already have an "emoji button" on our keyboards: on Windows, it's the Win+. keystroke. Try it if your Windows 10 is updated enough.
For other readers: emoji keyboard is ctrl + cmd + space on macOS.

I'll take "things you can do when you're single"... can't quite imagine sidling up to significant other with the gambit "Darling, would you mind terribly if I spent £1000 on Kazakhstani emoji domains?"
On the one hand, I'm single and if I wanted to I could also blow a few grand on emoji domains for an experiment, then I could. On the other, I'd be taking a few grand from my savings for my mortgage deposit. This isn't about relationship status, the author of this post just has money to burn. And even if the author expected to get their money back through paid sales...they're on the hook for those accounts now unless…
If you don't have spare 1000$, you should work towards having them.
I would recommend advertising that at https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ the people there are f'ing addicted to the rocktes emoji and dont care how much to pay to have it appear somewhere
I was actually just thinking that he should probably register the [diamond][hands].kk domain, there's got to be some demand for it given how much it gets spammed over there.
So, congrats, OP.

1000$ is not a lot of money. Stop making excuses. (edit: he paid 1200$ initially and bought more when he already had some sales). So 1200$ was enough, or even less, as he could have done the same project with 50 domains instead of 150). If you don't have spare 1000$, you should work towards having them.
For a lot of people in the world, it's a tremendous amount of money. Congrats on being someone without that concern.
> Stop making excuses.
Take that up with the person you've imagined you're talking to.

Yes, it is.
I can't imagine spending $1000 on a fun thing or a joke and I'm single.

I use an email address that ends in .io and the amount of people that still ask me ".io? are you sure that's correct?" never ceases to amaze me.
Yeah. Try using wildcard email accounts together with a uncommon TLD, and people ask me if I work at their place all the time. Last time I booked a car at Hertz: > Me: My email is hertz@capableweb.work > Agent: Woah, you work here at Hertz? That's so cool > Me: sure, can you remind me of the employee discount again? So many email validations fail with a uncommon gTLD that I started switching everything to a .com doma…
Nope. It confused the hell out of people.
