Thank you for the insightful comment. I was/am tempted to turn it into a guest-post rather than leave it as a comment, but didn’t want to do so without your permission.

Thanks for reading my blog, and if you’ve got one of your own, but sure to include it in future comment. If you don’t have a blog at present and would like to have one, I’d be happy to help you get it set up, just let me know.

You have some interesting things to say, and I appreciate your readership and your comment(s).

Still, I think that mindset shows the typical short-sightedness so prevalent in the last half of the last century. Certainly, dot coms are popular addresses historically, and recent information shows that dot net addresses are now the favored address.

But in a way, what’s happening on the internet is akin to growing cities. There’s a great chance that a mature internet will favor top level domains not even dreamed of yet. I’ve only owned a couple of dot com addresses, and the ones I have now are simply to protect my dot net addresses, most of which I’ve owned since the 90s. When I develop a site, I nearly always choose the dot net address as the primary.

Now that dot nets are “Premium” I guess I’ll try to figure out which ones will be ‘hot’ next. I’m thinking country specific, what do you think?

Oh, and late to the party I still want to congratulate you on the sale and success.

(ps – what is this death of parking you’re talking about? seems like the past 3 months all I find is parked squatters thinking they can make a million dollars off of a domain they bought in 1995 and never even developed anything whatsoever… wasted spaces.)
