are domainers fueling the dotasia auctions?

[Master Chief]

Master Chef: you are spot on. i have noticed a number that have not been registered by a few asian contries - problem is that peoples are piling in thinking its the next gold rush - i have snapped a few names in the auction but only $10 - $50 each -

"$10 - $50 each" to speculate, perfect! however, spending tens of thousands on english keywords is scary (with just a couple of exceptions).. have a plan people.. have a plan

yeah nice simple generics will make some money for sure! she.asia < perfect

I just got ESOL.asia ( English Speakers of Other Languages )and as i have a training company that made perfect sense.

[yedi200]

robmac, thanks for your repeat
But what the mean "she.asia < perfect", it that means she.asia is a perfact domain?

english keywords . asia

when will domainers ever learn

The truth is, English is still the language of Asia, because ...

I beg to differ .. As you say ... "formerly" .. that is no longer the case .. If you are under the impression that 'colonial rule' is still the 'standard' then you are mistaken

Sad but true, those "former" colonialists were smart enough to lay the groundwork for generations to come. English is SO deeply rooted in many parts of Asia (such as India and Hong Kong) that it is STILL used EXTENSIVELY in both the public and private sectors NOW.

3: English is prevalent insofar that you are likely to only see anything written about Asia in English (Unless you speak / are fluent in languages other than English) .. this does not represent the language that Asians are speaking / use or communicate in for business / everyday life etc .. be it in 'real life' or on the 'interweb'

When a Japanese business man meets with his Chinese counterpart, what language do you think they will be speaking to each other? ENGLISH! Surprise?

But it's true that most Asians would not consider themselves "Asians" (except those living abroad perhaps). However, there has been a steadily growing trend in Southeast Asia that the younger generations are becoming more and more assimilated (e.g. watching the same TV drama series, some of which even starred by multi-national casts and dubbed into native languages when aired in respective countries).

If you think time is on your side look at .cc or .biz
They are pretty much as worthless as they were at the beginning of the century.
Time does not always help extensions to mature. How many are left to rot after the initial frenzy.
With the upcoming release of possibly tens of new extensions .asia will be further marginalized, just like other extensions that have failed to gain significant market- and mindshare.

Ditto to that. .asia is, and shall remain worthless imho.

.asia is different HUGE traffic growth on and +72+ countires its huge to grow and gTLD so you read and see it will pick there i have 12 offers on 70 domains i have all are premium name.

Experts predict that 95 percent of all South Korean households will be wired for broadband Internet by the year 2010. Ninety-four percent of Japanese homes will have broadband access, with Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia expected to be nearly 80 percent wired. By 2010, China will have replaced the US as the largest Internet market in the world.†

The .ASIA top-level domain (TLD) is an ICANN-sponsored domain extension that represents the Asia-Pacific region. A .ASIA domain gives you exposure to the region as a whole, as opposed to individual countries, such as a .JP or .CN extension. This is particularly useful for companies that conduct business in different Asian countries, because securing the .ASIA domain gives you regional recognition, makes it easier to manage your Web presence, and increases your exposure to the growing number of Internet users in the Asia-Pacific region.

If you or one of your contacts lives in the Asia-Pacific region, you can register a .ASIA domain name.

Don't miss your chance to connect with this untapped market. Get your .ASIA now!

2: IF .asia was going to be a success then Thais are unlikely to be looking for fuut.asia .. more likely to be looking for อาหาร.asia (Sp?) .. would you agree?

I think that .asia was meant for commerce between countries and the region. I visit Thailand every year, and what I see happening there is tourists from Japan speaking English to Thais who also speak English. French speaking English to Japan and Thai people. So English is one of the go between languages in the area and world for sure. Those with money that want to do business -- import/export, retail (silver, gold jewelry), tourism, etc -- will reach out in a common language.

Many Thai websites have Romanized characters as domain names like teenee.com.
