social.st is not considered a "domain hack"

in fact the only one that is an actual domain hack that you listed is Li.st

 

[petrosc]

you are right, but it can be considered a hack if used and branded as social.st=Social.Site

and that's not even the whole point... it's a massive term on a very brandable tld

 

[mjnels]

yea i know what your sayin, but ussually a domain hack simply finishes the word that was started.. like Li.st or Inter.net (supposely one of the first hacks ever reg'd)

still pretty good keyword, i dont know much about the .st extention though..

 

[petrosc]

well the .st is a relatively new extension, 2006 brought the first big sales. .st can be branded in many ways, that's why it's starting to get successful. Store (Adult.st-Adult.Store), Site(Gambling.st-Gambling.Site), Street(Wall.st-wall.street), State (Florida.st-Florida.State) etc

no reseller value IMO at this point, end user..who knows..but what is the chance of an enduser wanting to buy a .st domain? the best you can hope for is for .st to come up with some marking strategy like .mobi

 

[petrosc]

i disagree. an end user, let's say for example a new social network site may benefit a lot more from a domain such as Social.st rather than a domain like YourFace.com or MySpace.com or FaceBook.com or whatever imaginary names they come up with
