What Domain Holders Really Want
from the they-want-to-cybersquat dept
The companies in charge of selling the new .biz and .info domains have released a list of the most requested domains during their preregistration period. Both lists are pretty similar, though, show.biz makes the top of the biz list, but doesn't make the .info list. Second on both lists is "sex" (as in sex.biz and sex.info). For the .biz registrations, if there's no trademark issues, they're just going to chose randomly from everyone who registered. So, it's kind of like a lottery to see who's going to end up with show.biz.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
