tiny urls are becoming a hot trend.

Have to agree. DN Journal has no shortage of short ccTLD sales in the Year to Date ccTLD chart.

Just as well im stocked up with 30 single letter domains

**Reece** · 05-06-2009, 02:35 PM

I just have a few short .ca domains myself -- hoping to get more diversified into ccTLDs sometime in the not too distant future

**Luke4u** · 05-06-2009, 03:26 PM

I hope so ... I hope so

it not really a buzz....

it's just that they are the only extensions left where they may still be some short (3 characters) or less domains available to reg or buy cheap.

imo

**sdsinc** · 05-06-2009, 04:11 PM

Looks like the next domaining fad. Beware the herd mentality...

**HuntingMoon** · 05-06-2009, 05:07 PM

all you have to do is look at your facebook news feed to see why bit.ly and other services are a growing necessity. mobile convergence makes it more and more needed as well since there is the 140 character limit per sms.

**Duncan** · 05-06-2009, 05:40 PM

Would it be wise to invest thousands into short domains? By short I mean really short.

**Reece** · 05-06-2009, 05:58 PM

Nothing wrong with putting some money in it -- I wouldn't switch all my investments over based on one story however

What if the renewal fee is $100~year? But I have the ability to get some amazing domains.

**highway101** · 05-06-2009, 07:10 PM

I have:
And the REG fee is only $40 a year so I hope everyone is right. : )

I sold b.ly on sedo recently.

**TheWatcher** · 05-06-2009, 08:21 PM

I have my own running for the last couple of months. Still in continuous development. Check it.

**dn.canton** · 05-07-2009, 12:03 AM

I've been snapping up a few short ones recently as well, and I have a feeling it's going to be well worth it.

**Wot** · 05-07-2009, 06:17 AM
