I'm personally sick and tired of "defending my name" in all these new
TLDs and in my opinion it seems kinda bogus to roll it out "defense" as
an actual product, it further stigmatizes these new TLDs as one big cash
grab.
I think .name and .pro are going to flop. The 3rd LD model won't appeal
on a mass level and everybody who just scrambled to cover their butts
in .info and .biz are going to get hit with .name and .pro and just
say to hell with it. Get ready for the backlash.
We haven't had anybody asking about .name or .pro yet.
As always, I could me completely wrong. It's monday.
