#2Side note: I didn't know Google had their own TLD. Is this new? Seems weird that an organization has that ability to do that.

Anyone can apply for their own TLD but it's not cheap. £130K+ a year iirc after a long application process

ICAAN now allows organisations to purchase Branded TLDs. Google, Sky, Barclays among others have done it.

They've added it for over 3 years now, you can read more about it here: https://icannwiki.org/.google
blog.google is used pretty often.

Maybe I've just never really noticed before. Maybe a case of glancing and just imagining the `.com` after.

You could do it, it just took $185,000 per application (https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb) and a super involved process.
Edit: s/can/could (thanks to child commenter).

Anyone could during the one-time “new gTLD” scramble, but applications closed for that years ago; no decision on any subsequent round has yet been made, because the review of that first round has not yet been completed.
So, other than establishing a new country and getting a new ccTLD, there's no way to get a new TLD right now.

No, ICANN years ago allowed that for a limited time, and is currently reviewing the results of that to decide if, when, and how to do so again.

#10People very strongly underestimate the impact on the net once many people who were hitherto disconnected, finally come online.
Provided they realize there is a greater web beyond facebook and the various trap gardens.
