Just read this amazing article in Domain News

"TakeMeTo.asia Domain Sells for $666,000 breaking the Sales record for a new Domain TLD"

"This sale comes just days after the .asia TLD opened up for registrations..

This astonishing sale proves that Catchy three-word domain name hacks are a hot commodity.

The new .asia TLD which has been created as the internet's gateway to Asia has received enormous popularity in a relatively short time.

Registrations for .asia domains are expected to skyrocket following this sale, especially with domain speculators/cybersquatters.

.Asia is set to become the most successful domain extension since .com, and may exceed .com in the near future." read more!!

There is a 60-day hold on selling .Asia's. Therefore, no .Asia's can be sold until the 60 days has elapsed. Different from the .mobi's.

I registered two .asia's with Eurodns and did an internal transfer seconds later.
