@ttjordan81 You have a great point and it will be interesting to see how that affects SEO! Though SEO seems to be so challenging now anyway with the patterned personalized algorithms that would lead the two of us to get very different results on the exact same search. The social aspects are already reeking havoc.
@finitekosmos I agree with you that this will probably not cause an explosion of innovation, I'm not clear on how ipv6 would either. It would seem to leave more room for it, but I don't understand how it would lead to it, yet that isn't a subject I know very well, so I would love to understand it better!
I just found out about this today and think its pretty cool. But I want to know... How would search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) treat these new extensions. I think this would be an unfair to small companies if those big companies snatched new keyword phrases and it lead to higher rankings.
Mmmm, the domain extensions market is an interesting diversion but not something that would lead to an explosion of innovation beyond the capacity for ICANN to reap additional funds.
Real internet application innovation won't really start reaching consumers until the public availability of ipv6 is dramatically increased, and lets be honest; due to the enormous address ranges possible with ipv6, ipv6 is ALL about DNS. I'm much more interested in the innovation than speculative domain markets.
