  Thanks Ray...the big event to watch will be in May when the gTLD list from ICANN is made public…

  Name dilution is the biggest curse on global digital canvas… here there are two, in others 3, 37, or 3700… the soup of naming stupidity is already very thick and gTLD is the best strainer....what is it you do by…

Value or Love for New gTLDs?

  Alex, I like your deeper analysis… At the end of the day it's more about the right name that would easily strech over the global canvass of cyber branding...95% names of the so called established name brands have some extra…

CRIDO Sells "Do Not Sell List"

  Ray, any 'borderline disaster name' can easily create another disaster name, let's say they are used to it. Unless the company commits to eliminate the the word 'united' from all the planes and signage and rebuild UAL.... on the other…

  Thanks Ray, a very important question indeed… KFC wanted to eliminate 'fried' during the health craze movement and almost died… another story. Each major naming case has its own criteria and may never be applicable to the next big story.…

Trademarks Tango in Cyber Ballrooms

  Ray, this will be the next hot topic later in 2012… the TM sector is aware of the old system now clashing with new global digital platforms… it will only grow in time

New TLD Spotted - .FUD

  The question is what are they so afraid off and why are they avoiding a direct debate… The so called violent opposition by ANA, Ester Dyson or Gary Elliot is more like dealing with paper tigers. The prerequisite to any…

  Thanks Mark, you are right, Google will never kill the domain names…

A Made Up Fantasy and the ICANN gTLD Reality

  Right on Paul, The global expansion of cyber naming systen is directly related to the growth of global business incubation...good and solid trademarks owners are always protected, it's the 'make-believe trademark owners' whom are making all the noise.

  Thanks Phil, mu.co.uk? Just too many dots.... all you need is ONE...dot name...such split seconds savings when multiplied by billions of interactions by billions of users all over the world they all matter a lot. This makes the difference between…

  Thanks Volker, I appreciate your comments as in the market no one is openly discussing about the so called regionally established mega NAMES that are becoming dysfunctional on global cyber branding warfare and the new gTLD weaponry. The quantity of…

Who Will Give Birth to the gTLD's First Billion-Dollar Domain Baby?

• Comment posted Aug 17, 2011 11:53 am PDT — by Naseem Javed
  Thanks Ray, for sharing your unnamed journey. The gTLD eco-system is a very solid idea, but currently these concepts are being fogged by too many mixed opinions erupting from the old first generation, free for all domain name system and…

  Thanks Ray, a great video indeed.... As anticipated, we are all headed for a new landscape of image expansion and branding where name identities will be the most critical component of advertising and marketing...a 'new name economy' is emerging where…

  Thanks Ray, a great reflective post… City branding will have an amazing advantage and most enlightened will all see the light soon. The global usability, marketability and uniqueness are some of the major influencing factors and when all in harmony…

  Dan, at times gtld is an open game, any group can try, but Protection can only be secured with a protectable name… CAT is cat. The global feline association may try to invest 500K?

• Comment posted Jan 19, 2011 1:24 am PST — by Naseem Javed
  Daniel, the domain name protection industry tried all such things and provided some small success. 25,000 registrations around every other major brand name is a joke. CAT is a brand like Coke and needed some protection. Bottomline weak names are…

  Ken, good points, I too was once a harsh critic of ICANN and never liked behind the door sluggish decisions, but things are changing and we need a far stronger and transparent leadership like ICANN ever more so with the…

  True Kevin, we live in an overly flooded legal system, but no one can rightfully claim a 'generic' or a 'dictionary word' use… in each and every classification. Only the weaker TM owners are squeeking as the iron clad TMs…

  Suresh, United Airlines cannot stop a million other users, all they can do is to protect their logo and marks and look out for encrochment on their 'wares' ie airline related issues… this is the reality with diluted and generic…

  if IOC got the gtld the case is closed, if lets say you get it IOC cannot stop the use of Olympic EXCEPT in the context of GAMES are related items. The question is why someone would go for the…

  RMS Olympic was the ship and that's what we call luck....

  What about the million plus using the name Olympic in trade all over the world… "The word 'Olympic' is overly diluted and there is no way any single organization, including the Olympic committee can claim exclusivity. However they can secure…

  Olympic is a generic name, period, so it would be 'dot olympicgames' they would object to...we will not recommend any other business except Olympic games to go for the gtld… as outside the games this word has very little or…
