The following are the New gTLD extensions being launched for the week. The extensions include geo, medical, and some that are off the wall. Interesting to see what some will do with these.
8/4/14 –
PRIORITY PLACEMENT FOR LANDRUSH
.NYC – this extension is strictly for New Yorkers. A great geo for a great city. Short and to the point.
8/5/14 –
PRIORITY PLACEMENT FOR LANDRUSH
.YOKOHAMA – This is for anyone living or working in Japan’s 2nd largest city.
8/6/14 –
PRIORITY PLACEMENT FOR EARLY ACCESS
.CARE – a place to help others
.CLINIC – this says that you provide healthcare services
.DENTAL – for dentists wanting to establish their online presence
.SURGERY – skilled surgeons can advertise their services and specialties
GENERAL AVAILABILITY
.ACTOR – for all who are in the entertainment industry. This is an added marketing tool to help you stand out from the crowd.
.FAIL – this one is really making you think outside of the box. The definition for this word is “unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal”. Personally, why would you want to be negative and put how you or others have failed for the world to see? What do you think?
.FINANCIAL – for anything relating to money, banking, finances, and loans.
.LIMITED – great for a marketing campaign promoting limited-time sales or exclusive products.
.ROCKS – for the rock star in any field.
.WTF – a place for offbeat, eye-catching (or just plain weird) content. One of dotWhatever’s favorite phrases “what the F&*K”? This one could be really fun to play with.
Ex:KimKardashian.wtf I believe this one says it all!
So there are interesting New gTLD extensions being launched, with many more to come. Choose wisely and remember that these New gTLD extensions represent you, your business, your personality. It’s all about branding oneself online.
