IMHO the article was thoughtful and well presented. This kind of outside-the-box thinking helps me inderstand why FS was and is a key player in domain name acquisition and marketing business. In a recent conversation with my wife I conjectured that Google and FB will be second tier in a decade. The Twitter model seems to be thriving, and the LinkedIn niche seems to me to be a viable model into the future. I think that PRIVACY will be one of the key determinants into the foreseeable future as personal freedom takes the forefront in futuristic thought. Google and FB are the antithesis of personal privacy... Computers and automation will continue to evolve at a much more rapid pace and the ability to self-educate and prosper through the communication and internet era will more heavily define the world's population well into the future as all the world's knowledge becomes available at the touch of a key... ***FS*** I once thought that domains were the center of the world. Much in the sense that Twitter, FB, and GOOG are at the center of the world as individual media properties. The truth is that domains are indeed the center of the world, but a large grouping of them does not make them a media property - rather each individual name is at the center of its own world - and there-in lies the strength of names in general. Name portfolio operators are the center of the world much like an electric utility is at the center of a city because it allows the city to function. No names, no Internet. Twitter, FB, GOOG, YHOO, MYSPACE COMPUSERVE all require(d) a domain name to make them function. But that said I have yet to figure out a way to make even a large tranche of names with a great deal of traffic = any social network, because the interests are so fragmented. I'm still thinking about that though.

Currency is a store of value and domain is a store of “ content” . This is how is see it. Content is The King…. Since big brands already have their content well established in dot-coms. I am wondering what added value new gTLDs are offering . If you logon to .toyota how this is different from login to toyota.com. Is there a change in content ????? Any comments please on how the new gTLDs would add to the quality of domain content compared to dot-coms???? Best Rashed Nice article FS.
