Big things are happening @ Allthings.tv - YAY!

Well, first of all, they had a great interview with Demand media regarding the re-launching of the .tv extension, if you would like to read this article, check it out here
If that was not enough, they also started a forum community which I am happy to be a part of, check that out here!

Also, I just read another great article on Exclusively.tv. This too is a must read if you are thinking about this extension. Check out the article here.

So what are we all to think about all this information?

Here is what I think. I feel as though this is just the beginning. This is the "ground level" so they say. When things start to roll, they will start to roll really fast, and they will more than likely never slow down. Technology is still growing at an incredible rate, and with that is the need to expand our content, as well as our communication methods.

This is going to be a great year in history, you just watch what happens in the next 5 years or so, when we look back on today everyone will say (Adam was right) Just you wait and see.

Thanks for reading!

.TV - The Domain You MUST Have!

At least that is what My buddy Mr. Rosenblatt was quoted as saying on the cover of this month's DNJournal.

“Verisign is an important eNom Founder Paul Stahura(now Demand Media President) partner and we are thrilled to be working with them on .TV. It has been a collaborative process and we are working together to really build out the best possible offering that will drive .TV adoption,” Rosenblatt said. "We plan to make .TV ubiquitous. We are going to spend a lot of money to make .TV the domain you must have!"

I have to comment on this by saying that they are hyping up the hype, and for good reason too!
The .TV domain name is going to be so big that the .com's are going to be jealous. I personally think the reason for this is mainly going to be because of the way technology is headed. Like I have mentioned in previous post, one day, you will be able to control everything with one thing, your TV, or a notebook. Look at what my buddy Mr. Rosenblatt said in closing:

In closing Rosenblatt added, “I realize that I keep coming back to the same point of focusing on the user. Don’t tell users what they have to do, or how to do it. Just give them the place, give them the tools, and give them the means to find other like-minded people to share what they know. And keep innovating and giving them new and powerful tools to make doing all that even easier!”

So, to sum up this post, without sounding like I know everything, and this is just a suggestion, go buy a .tv domain name that makes sense to you, it just might be the best thing you ever purchased!

And what about those new .tv domain names?

There is a lot of speculation regarding the .tv extension lately. So much so, that people are now wondering "should I have purchased that one"? I personally do not think that everyone fully understands what this is really all about.

It might be the fact that the .tv extension is new, or it might be that the .tv extension is a little more expensive. Whatever the case, look for this domain to take off in the future. Everyone (almost everyone at least) loves to watch TV, and since technology is growing at such a fast rate, the demand has not been there yet for this new extension. Once the word gets out and it gets popularized publicly, then the real value will shine like no other .com ever has.

Of course, it could happen sooner than later too!

Right now, our current technology is not ready for what could be released in the near future. Imagine surfing the web, watching TV and controlling your entire house/apartment all with an LCD screen, you can even type on it too, so there is no need for a keyboard. Not only that, but you would be able to control everything all at once too. Imagine the market for domain names that end in .tv if that was the case, and think about it hard too, because that just might be the case someday, and someday sooner than you might even think too!

The tech market is growing so rapidly, that the domain that I own (www.gohd.tv) might be a real bargain for someone like Panasonic or Sony to purchase, once the price of HD TV's get to be so low that they have to have a site to show all the great deals that they want to push. Not only that, but when the .tv market of domain names gets so saturated they will also go up in value.

For now, I think it is one of the best names out there. There are others that are great, even some .coms are still being registered and made into worthwhile investments. But, there is only a certain amount of .tv's that are available so get them while you can. Some are not yet available, like the one I tried to register via http://www.tv (no that is not a typo, that is the real site!) which was vpn.tv (they call this a premium name) they say that it will be released in the Spring of 2007 (which it is right now) and when more information is available blah blah blah. Basically they lead you to this form, and you fill out your information only to be contacted later when they do release the name, and then I have heard that it could cost up to $500 usd or more, depending on the relavance to many factors (length, dictionary word and whatever else could make it more expensive).

Bottom line, get your .tv as soon as you can, it is a market that will become the one to be in!

Have a Great Day!
