The new Top Level Domains are coming!

[Killuah]

The ICANN had a meeting in June 26zh, and they decided that it's time for new top level domains!

[quote=ICANN]The conclusion of the meeting saw the approval of a proposal to expand the world’s Domain Name System and to work on adapting it to accommodate top level domain names in scripts such as Arabic, Cyrillic or other non-Latin scripts.[/quote]

[B]So what does that mean?[/B]

Basically, as soon as the servers are ready for it, we can register domains like

.berlin
.newyork

or even .ebay

Even new fonts will like arabic and cyrillic are supported!

[quote]About ICANN:

ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the Internet's operation, so ICANN's global stakeholders meet regularly to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security and stability. ICANN is an internationally organized, public benefit non-profit company. For more information please visit: [url]www.icann.org[/url]. [/quote]

Isn't that cool?

The only bad side in this is that now some people will not be able to read certain web adresses(cyrillic and so on)

If you're smart and have some cash, buy a popular domain name now, and sell it for profit.

ie [url]www.sex.shop[/url]

Guaranteed Monies.

[garry]

Wow! New Fonts Support In Domain Names!

[Killuah]

Well, it's not big news for YOU garry, but I am pretty sure that people who USE those fonts in their life will be pretty happy.

Also the new IPv6 is awesome.

[Xenocidebot]

FUCK ME!

I just bought Xenocidebot.com so I could have an email address of [email][e-mail][/email].

Now you're telling me I should've waited and bought Xenocidebot.xenocidebot so my email could be [email][e-mail][/email]cidebot?

FUCK ME!

[brazeyboy]

Sounds cool. I can't wait.

[Killuah]

You can't buy every fucking top level domain you want.

Just popular ones like cities or big companies.

[The Pro]

Butt.Sex
No :v:?

[Anonym]

free.porn

[brazeyboy]

That would be an awesome site.

Uh...no, given you posted it I figured you would have looked into it a little better.

[b]Edit:[/b]

It's not like ICANN actually matters in the grand scheme of things either, but what the hell.

hay garry, go buy a whole bunch of domains and cyber squat.

[demoguy08]

Hopefully this will also introduce support for letter such as äöå, something us Scandinavians have been craving for

[Pepsi Max]

This opens up a lot of new possibilities for phishing websites targeting myspace users :v:

[PS360]

Fuck.you

Holy.shit

Fucking.eh

Ohmygod.whatthefuck.hacks

The list goes on.

[ZomBuster]

I think .blog will be very popular.

[cosmic duck]

any news on when this will happen, (i want [email][e-mail][/email] for an email address :D)

[Kilr]

With all the porn on the internet, .cum could be a very popular domain...

:fap:

[Cheesemonkey]

I don't think this will take off. People would forget what the domain was.

Huh? I don't really get it, I don't use my address bar anyways, Google knows all, and can find all, and bookmarks keep my favorite sites within quick reach.

[Carnotite]

Yay? Now we can have random addresses then, and finding some Russian domains, for whatever reason, will be much more difficult for me?

Why do i know that this is a Fairy Odd parents reference. :confused:

[Disarray]

Imagine trying to type a URL with Arabic or Cyrillic lettering if you don't speak those languages. Kinda tricky.

[CharadesV2]

I would like a .clan or something.
