Acknowledging the awesomeness of new domains.
Registry launches, registrar promos, domain investors zagging while others zig + businesses choosing different.
@branddrip@DInvesting It's more nuanced.
1. Those who want, but cannot afford the .com, know it, + plan on getting it as they grow + raise $.
2. People find non-com businesses, easily (IOs, COs, other CCs, newGs)
3. Small businesses use .com & noncoms.
4. Plenty of opportunities for domrs to sell nGs
@DInvesting I would. Most people would. Maybe because of the value I know as a domainer and the belief I have that https://t.co/9wMiKOfMCZ is a killer, memorable, high-impact brand. BUT there are a small, yet growing, number of people who just don't care about .com.
@Jason_Franklin@Undeveloped Congrats! I saw the price on Namebio and think it was probably good for both buyer and seller. I also think that some of these over the dot phrases can pull in huge figures in future.
Looks like .com was the biggest loser today:
- 124759 (drops)
+ 42928 (old re-regs)
+ 45582 (new regs)
= - 36249 (net loss in .com domainspace)
GD slashing .com prices to $5.17!
What's happening with .com?

@Chad_Hurley @zebleckswan Gosh Chad - saying all other TLDs are scams and having https://t.co/Yc0F3V5RV7 - hypocrisy isn't a good luck.
You should take another look at new gTLDs.
Some domain spaces are managed very well and as a % are so much less scammy than the .com namespace.
@andrewrosener@mikemanndotcom First it was Trump will win, then short bitcoin, next it'll be new TLDs will never take off. I don't know - guess it takes a little longer for some folks to catch on.
@qualitynames "I would say because they are fearful of how disruptive plug in cars will be and how unattractive their old product line will be" - powerful quote from the video. Reminds me of something else #dotcom and #newdomains
