.eu looks like a dotcom wannabee, but time will tell.

.eu looks like a dotcom wannabee, but time will tell.

There isn't enough time...unless you plan on living to be a thousand years old. Most all of the great names in the new extentions are taken by speculators, so they end up trading back and forth for a year or two...then fizzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Thank God most people go out of their way to avoid picking up any great dotcoms...leaves more for those in the know.

Dotcom is King! It's symbolic for the whole Internet. I prefer to buy in Beverly Hills. Location, Location, Location.

Image has a lot to do with it as well. How many billions of dollars would I need if I wanted to create the next Harvard or Stanford from scratch? And how many hundreds of years would it take. Aint gonna happen.

There just trying to jump-start the market that will fall through anyway... Who in there right minds would pay that much for a domain like that ...

It seems far too early to take such a negative position. "Online Casino" is a powerful search term and .eu may take hold in time. Do feel the same as most here though that the rampant speculation will stifle growth unless registrants create something of interest on the .eu sites.

I'm sure this domain would sell for millions of dollars, if not above 10 million to a big poker/casino company.

There are several million searches per month for the keyword "online casino".

The actual owner doesn't have the money to develop the domain potential and rank it in top 3 on Google for its term.

Online casino biz is a billion dollar industry and growing fast.

What would onlinecasino.com be worth? Certainly a factor or 2 more then onlinecasino.eu went for.

Is onlinecasino.eu worth 45k now? Probably not. But if you could go back and buy onlinecasino.com in 1995 for 45k would you do it?

yes, i would have grabbed onlinecasino.com for 45k

i agree. the .eu is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overhyped. i haven't registered a single one and don't plan on it.

Sour Grapes?

all i can say is LOL @ SYSTEMX and LUC.
Please stop being conservatives.
Peace

I think the word you are looking for is Biggot.

Agreed EU is extremely divided, .eu will only work for EU institutions or EU non-gov. organizations. Something similar to .gov

They should have never allowed it to be opened to individuals or companies. Its a crooked registry.

Such absurd statements should at least be backed with some attempt to rationalise your argument!

I don't know how the .EU will survive when the majority of online sales comes from American consumers...

To some the domain .eu is antagonistic too because it's saying that the website is for Europeans only.

The whole thing with ccTlds has gone way too far.

This is why IDN will fail. If you are not marketing to the US, then you are wasting your money. The problem will arise when the rest of the World stop letting the US have everything on tick.

.eu looks like a dotcom wannabee, but time will tell.

No Dot US is the Dot Com Wannabee. Dot Com is the accepted ccTLD of the US and Dot US somewhat surprisingly thinks it should be.

Dot Com, however, will remain King as it has huge brand recognition, which will be massively reinforced the registration of several hundreds of Millions of Dot Com IDNs over the next couple of years. Some existing Dot Coms will become largely redundant. Typical examples with be English Names of Asian Cities. Nearly all search for cities is done from within in local script and that is precisely how Type-ins will occur once IE 7.0 has substantially replaced the scelerotic IE 6.0.

If I could only sell what he is sniffing, I could forget about domains altogether!

Nice use of the word scelerotic

I am not a fan of .EU --but $45k is a bargain for this domain name.
