Does anyone know of listings or a resource guide for when each TLD is going live and the registrars that are selling them? I have a couple of domain hacks that I've been interested in that I want to use for a project.
Does not work well on mobile.
With uncommon domain extensions I always fear that they might jack up the rates at some point in the future, going from $20/year to $250/year or even more. Still, my personal site and email is on a fairly obscure country TLD, and I hope they will never do something like that, being a country and all. With these new TLDs for which companies paid large amounts of money, who knows what might happen? Does anyone know if…
I sincerely wish that this would happen with all domain registrations. Maybe not $250/yr, but $100/yr would be OK.
It wouldn't bother anybody that owns a few domains for business or even personal use.
It would slow down spamming techniques that rely on registering lots of different domains.
It would almost entirely halt domain squatting.
"which by the way, you can already do here in Toronto with .TO)" [0] What's up with that? Is there something I'm missing or are they just selling tonga [1] domains under the toronto label now? [0] http://web.to/ [1] http://www.tonic.to/
The number of new TLDs is rather ridiculous. That said, I can't say I mind all of them. Scotland and Scottish culture will finally get their own domain - .scot - which will be great.
great.scot is already taken.
I'm determined to get great.scot myself.
-It's the first TLD ever bought by a non-profit initiative: http://www.dothiv.org (based in Berlin, Germany)
-Their goal is to create the "red ribbon" of the digital age
-Revenues generated through the sale of these domains will be used to raise funds in support of projects that fight HIV
-Companies that buy .hiv addresses can pledge to donate a given amount of money to the initiative each time somebody visits their site, thus creating a clever system of micro-donations.
In my opinion this is an ingenious idea and one of the most creative uses of domain names I've seen so far.

Comments like this are why this weird social closure that so many tech people delight in is so disturbing.

Whenever people talk about new tlds, I always think mostly about names like google.con or googl.ecom. Yeah, yeah, it's cool that you can get some awesome tld, but I don't see the point. What's wrong with .com/org/net?
