Er - I don't think that there are this many... I mean, not every .xxx is

available (the amount that actually are around is in it's early hundreds).

as for the .xxx.yyy there are a few more of these. I think that there has to

be an element of sanity involved. We have bought the .coms and .co.uks for

our domain names and have stopped there.


.tv is not a 'con' but it is a 'sharp trick'. I just wished that someone

would have advised Tuvalu better before they sold out. The reason I think it

is a 'sharp trick' is that it is seducing people with the 'keeping up with

the Joneses' mentality that has so far fuelled the ridiculous pricing and

bulk-buying of domain names. There was no real need for it - but people had

to take part in the land-grab, 'you've got to be in it to win it'.


Anyway, there are future .tv owners born every minute and if they want to be

suckers then it is up to them. Having a .tv isn't really going to be the

difference between success and failure, in fact I would look more closely at

getting an actual digital channel number as a better way of kicking off the

iTV revolution.


On another note, regarding the placing of brand names into metatags, I might

start getting in touch with a few other websites.... ;-)
