I like the new central resource to keep up to date on marketing direct from Google I just wish Google would get a readability expert on their team. They are using a very thin font with the color of #333 on a #fafafa background and, as per usual, they love their whitespace making the page look silly on my widescreen desktop monitor. I still look forward to going to a single resource instead of the various blogs now.

For those who didn't know about the ".google" TLD: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/26/google_turns_on_goog...

Thanks, that was literally my first thought on reading the title and seeing the URL.

I imagine this is a trial balloon of some sort; I wonder if http://mail.google is going to be next?

How gaudy. I hope that the next generation of naming technologies will choose to interoperate with DNS by filing all this recent TLD pollution to an appropriate home under .icann.

The TLD surprised me, I didn't know you could request one. The article I found that covers off on purchasing (leasing?) a TLD ironically used Google as an example. The article is from 2011.

"The process itself may be relatively straightforward. ICANN will make applications available (get the May 2011 draft of the Applicant Guidebook) from January 12, 2012 through April 12, 2012, giving companies time to develop a marketing plan and come up with justification to pay the $185,000 application fee and, if approved, the annual $25,000 fee.
