ICANN Opens Door For Crazy Domain Names Like Crap.Crap

Post by froggyboy604 »

ICANN has just made a decision that goes beyond allowing .xxx to be a top level domain; they're allowing all words to be top level domains. That means you're going to see domains like F****.shit, shit.shit, shit.F****, whatisthisshit.F****, and so forth. What's not allowed is domains that conflict with trademarks (.pepsi was the example), too similar to current top level domains, or names associated with countries or governments (juicy.turkey). Companies will also register their products and services, leading to really annoying domains like pleaseplayyour.ps3pleaseplease, or dontyouwantanother.ipod. Nice one, ICANN. Nice one.

I can see Celebrities and famous people using their own names as their domain like Bon.Jovi , Ayumi.Hamasaki, Jay.Chou or Cocca.cola

Reminds me of those AOL Keyword Commercials I used to see on TV.

For example, AOL Keyword : AIM
