Is it me or does everyone and their mother have a gTLD these days? I would not take any company that uses a gTLD serious at all.

what's wrong with having gTLD? Seeing lots of this new TLD hate, I want to understand the reasoning.

Adding random things at the root of a hierarchy subverts the entire idea of having a hierarchy in the first place.

Pay attention to the URL as you scroll down the page. ;)

I don't know much about html/js, how is it done without #? Why doesn't it trigger a page change

April fools I wanted the most:

- NSA announcing they were dropping all illegal activities,

- Water allowed on board of planes,

- ISIS converting to Christianity,

- Apple patenting the patent,

- Snapchat releasing a payment system

Note that April Fools is on December 28th in Spannish culture. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day#Comparable...

The TLD system is arguably broken, because it never turned out as hierarchical as it was supposed to. All the new TLDs do is force people to shell out more money to squat on pointless domains to avoid them being used for fraud (or, worse, by the competition).
