All Great Keyword IDNs ~

Congrats!

I officially announce that the dynadot system is crapy. Quite a few domains that I have pre-ordered endded up with hand regged by rhys and mulligan. Just minutes ago, I hand regged 株.biz, which I placed preorder too.

[Fka200]

Was this actually worth the purchase?

中华人民共和国.biz

Peoples Republic of China

? Super curious. Going to keep this just for fun.

Which either suggestst there is still very little Japanese speculator interest in IDN or there is just no mindshare with the dot biz extension.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel a few hours ago... now it's more like a swiming pool

[rhys]

For the purposes I have in mind for these domains, the extension doesn't matter really. Hope that a bunch of the newer members got to taste what fresh regging in a green field is like. That is how .jp felt to me a little over a year ago.

[Rubber Duck]

Yes, I must admit I didn't go for any. Actually, I thought you guys were all very quiet last night.

Of course you are right about "the feeling" only for some of us it would have been a bit like queuing for Rice at the back of a Red Cross truck after having been handed the key to Fort Knox and being allowed to load the contents on to a convoy of trucks.

[Rubber Duck]

Damned platform, when you want two it merges them, and then when you don't you get two the same!

I just saw a very big corp end user reg while searching for keywords. Will publish here once i register a couple more.

Meanwhile, kudos to rhys for lighting up the bulb.

[bramiozo]

I took four just for the heck of it;

工商.biz - industry and commerce (chinese)
行业.biz - business/industry (chinese)
工程.biz - engineering (chinese)
欧洲.biz - europe (chinese/japanese)

If the extension is translated it might as well be equal to .com ?

I got 10 out of 100 on my pre-reg's.
Same thing, most of them could have been hand reg'd after the fact.

[markits]

Thanks bill
BTW, did you receive my PM re comments on your nets?
The idnf was down.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't bother to pre-register any - probably just as well. And I forgot and let the date on my calendar go unnoticed. After I saw these nice domains from Rhys I went and regged some, but it was late and I soon went to sleep. I'm gonna look and see what I registered, but I'm having trouble getting excited about biz.

You're not alone, i didn't think of registering any until the past 3 hrs.

But so far, most of the terms i searched are available!

.biz is a gTLD

others, like .ws is a ccTLD

maybe a bit of a big difference in the resale market?
