Top 7 Blogs for New gTLD Latest News and Info
Where do you get the latest news about new gTLDs (generic Top-Level Domains)? New gTLDs are being delegated (almost) every week for the rest of 2014 and well into 2015. There are some new gTLDs that are particularly meaningful for a specific niche topic, like: .PHOTOGRAPHY, .BERLIN, .TRAINING, .BIKE, and of course .BIBLE . There are also other new gTLDs that could be used for generically for any topic, like: .LINK, .CLUB, .TIPS, .TODAY, .BUZZ.
With over 250+ new gTLDs delegated already (at the time of this post), there could be a lot of information to wade through. I noticed this question asked on Quora: What’s going on with new gTLDs? I’m finding it very difficult to get any decent information about the new gTLDs that are being released. Thought it’d be helpful to share this list of top blogs with good info about new gTLDs that we’re following—
