Which IDN .com & .jp IDNs are online?

[idnowner]

I found that:   http://日本語.jp/  and http://輸入車.com are currently online.

If you know of any IDN .jp or IDN .com names that are online, please post 'em.

BTW, here are some logos I found online over a year ago...

No, I am just suggesting that if you do the job properly it is going to be like counting grains of sand on the beach. I think new sites will be opening faster than you can identify them.

I don't think anyone is trying to steal your thunder Dave. Just having a little fun. Maybe he should have stated post interesting ones, or ones you like.

No, that is not what I was getting at. By all means post a few of the more interesting ones but there really are a lot out there particularly if you look at Korea. What would be interesting though are larger manufacturering, financial or retail organisation using IDN as their primary URL. If you look a small business and Blog Sites you'll be there forever!

Correction

That Kakaku.com does not own their IDN

They are always listed as the highest .com in Overture Japanese because people see the logo but can't type in the IDN.
Recently they changed their logo to show the English spelling because before it was only Japanese

Ok!

Chinese but you might try this one

This is exciting to look at! I am sending this page to my buddy at DNForum friend who scoffed at IDN's. "Its a .com world" he wrote. Now I got some .coms he can put in his pipe and smoke!

Yes, for those at DNF that can't tell a ccTLD for an IDN, it is all a bit confusing, but IDNs are as much a legitimate part of the dot com registry as any other. As all script is form of encodement of sorts, in the longer-term, I think most people will hardly draw a distinction. The conventional domains will be referred to by the language they are in as will the IDN. The term IDN will probably drop from usage eventually.

Korea

Yes that fits with my assessment, which would suggest that Korea was an ideal market for speculation. We tried and abandoned it. We could only really get one way translation at the time, generally the wrong way and the market was pretty much completely bought out. At one time Koreans has more IDN than the rest of the world combined. They also speculate in other countries IDN quite a lot.
