#112OMFG what the hell is with all the real email addresses listed - its a spammers paradise. You'd think they'd be all throwaways but there's a lot of real ones (eg. banks, communications) and also noticed a smattering of gov domains.
Yeah, that's what I noticed as first thing when opening that page. They're not even obscured in the html code. I thought ICANN were professionals.
Professionals know that "obscured in the HTML code" means nothing against today's collection bots.

#113Google wants: .ads, .and, .android, .app, .are, .baby, .blog, .boo, .book, .buy, .cal, .car (no .cdr?), .channel, .chrome, .cloud, .corp (great way to snoop on poorly configured intranets), .cpa, .dad, .day, .dclk, .dds (New: Google Dentist!), .dev, .diy, .docs, .dog, .dot, .drive, .earth, .eat, .esq, .est, .family, .film, .fly, .foo, .free, .fun, .fyi, .game, .gbiz, .gle, .gmail, .gmbh (really?), .goo, .goog, .googl…
If would be neat if name.blog became an alias for name.blogspot.com

If you think spammers have trouble getting their hands on real email addresses, you don't really understand spam.
This is real email addresses of wealthy people who are open to a rather risky idea. I'm not thinking spammers...

I wonder if we see a change of domains from e.g. drive.google.com to google.drive. Google can use .plus domain to simplify links to Google+ profile. I would really like to see something like user-name.plus/photos.
really? "dot plus"? For a general consumer product? I know it worked for slash dot dot org, but their target was geeks.
URLs are targeted today at geeks. "Normal" people write everything to google search.

car companies seem to be on board, I can see brands for ford, general motors, fiat, toyota, audi, nissan. No french though, quick, let's grab .renault!
Car companies were late to the internet game the first time, and probably don't want to be left out again. Some car companies paid through the nose to domain squatters, others were unsuccessful (ie. nissan.com)
Holy crap. Just when you have faith in the system...
