New gTLDs – Week of 9/15 -9/19/14

The following are the New gTLD extensions being launched for the week.  This week it’s all about the General Availability names, and quite the eclectic mix it is. I would so love to be in .VEGAS sipping on a .VODKA cocktail. But attending a .RODEO, where then you hop on your .HORSE and head out to the .COUNTRY and do some .FISHING could be just as funtastic!

.COOKING – anything and everything to do with cooking.  Share recipes, tips, and advice on how not to poison people with your cooking.
.COUNTRY – for country music, country home decor, country living.  yee-haw!
.FISHING – share fishing stories on how you let the big one get away, or what hook and bait you used to catch that piranha.
.HORSE – for the equestrian industry
.RODEO – keep track of the next rodeo coming to your town, or take it in a totally different direction and have it be about the exclusive street in Beverly Hills.
.VEGAS – the entertainment capital of the world famous for gambling and nightlife.  Elvis would have loved this one.
.VODKA – it’s cocktail hour with this fun New gTLD.  James Bond would so approve. Vodka martini anyone? Shaken, not stirred of course.
