It all started with a Tweet from Colin Campbell, CEO of .Club, then Daniel Negari, CEO of .XYZ, replied and the battle of the New gTLDs began!
Here is the timeline of the twitter battle:
Colin Campbell:
China investor pointed to Versign’s .COM keyword trends: CLUB 2X as popular as WANG/VIP – 20X over XYZ. @getdotclub
Daniel Negari:
@ColinDotClub The only thing club is better than Xyz is the spam charts. Play fair
Colin Campbell:
It’s a fact: Club is 20 times more popular than XYZ on Verisign’s keyword trends. You do have Hooli XYZ though 🙂
Daniel Negari:
@ColinDotClub just prefer to be friendly. Rising tide raises all boats 🙂
Colin Campbell:
We have done a lot i.e. DNA- I do agree on the boat rising. Just don’t want all the boats to sink to a penny 🙂
Then Colin replied to a tweet asking him “@ColinDotClub Are you afraid that .club and GTLDs in general will all sink to a penny or is this just negative rhetoric?”.
Colin Campbell:
.CLUB will never sink to a penny!
The only valuable .xyz is abc.xyz. The rest are worthless.
Very dubious graph from Colin Campbell given it is a chart of keywords, not extensions. xyz is not a popular term, I think everyone knows that.
A more genuine comparison would be “.club” versus “.xyz”, not “club” versus “xyz”.
.club could have more registrants if they eventually get the setup of their idns properly.
(preferably before touring asia )
I agree because in that report ‘clubE’ is also being taken as of word ‘club’ even if not apparent. it should be keyword ‘tld1’ , ‘tld2’
