#133Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
You wouldn't take Google seriously? I'm sure they didn't fork out just for today, they will be using it for their products at some point. In a few years, it will probably the standard domain for big corps. iphone.apple, macbook.apple, etc. It looks weird now (or an intranet address at best), but once people get used to it, it will be recognisable as a domain just as any.com is now. Not to mention, an explosion of TLD…
The fact that a company needs their own gTLD is silly. Sites like google have a perfectly good domain. Why use iphone.apple if apple can already do iphone.apple.com or apple.com/iphone? At the end of the day the consumer will not start guessing what domain he/she has to use to get what they want. The average consumer uses a search engine and types in "apple iphone". They don't care about iphone.apple they just want to go to the product page.

When they mentioned rebranding the mount as a Hailo lift I was hoping they'd take it a step further and invent the Uber Hailo Lyft

#139https://com.google - Google showing off their new gTLD in a silly manner.
For or against gTLDs Google should not be able to squat .dev is too generic to give to one company. Infact any one company squatting any gtld that isn't their registered trademark leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It's just a game of "we have money therefor shut up." combined with "The world revolves around the USA"
How is "squatting" .dev meaningfully different from having .dev.com?
People here give way too much importance to TLDs.
