All the best to the new extensions but do they pay you for these posts? Idn.com has been around for years and is being used and gets real direct nav traffic. The only problem is Verisign is asleep at the wheel in promoting it. I would grab idn.cn and idn.com to cover the bet. Idn.whatever will take years if ever to get used and accepted. While Verisigns version of idn.com translates poorly it still gets traffic. Most mobile devices have a .com button on the keyboards that are easy to hit. I guess you could customize your keyboard but??
My $0.02.
Go see what is selling on the Chinese forums, auction sites. Lots of numbers, .cn names, .com even .cc!! I don’t recall seeing any of the extensions in the article on those sites.
TLD registry is a sponsor at this blog.
Posts are not paid.
I don’t really like mixed domain names. IDN.IDN is the way to go.
I own 0 IDN domains in Greek in .com or in .gr. Noone is using them.
Idn.com will be idn.idn once verisign gets it act together. It should hopefully happen this year.They have just dropped the ball with making everyone aware of them.
More than half of the people on the internet don’t speak English but they already know what .com is. My point is just that it will be a long and painful$$ road to try and make the new idn.whatever’s get traction.
Regardless of the domain most people still put .com at the end of everything. Even cctlds. Even the new gtlds.
Steve, don’t be afraid, I’m sure .com will remain in the game and much later still remain as another TLD for people to choose from.

I am not worrying about .com staying in the game. I actually recommended grabbing the .cn as painful and problematic as .cn can be it is the extension used the most in China. I just use the idn.come for Chinese speaking surfers outside of the country and to take advantage of the direct nav traffic that does go to .com.
Investors could be grabbing some keyword and numeric .cc’s as well. They seem to be getting some attention on the Chinese sale sites. Apparently they like .cc?? Who would have thought.
4.cn
22.cn
ename.cn
Regardless I hope all of the extensions do well but some seem like a lot of work and dollars will be needed to make anyone aware of them. Most people have no idea what idn.idn is.
