Rivals bid to snatch green domain
Found on BBC News on Friday, 07 August 2009
Rival environmental groups are lining up supporters to try to take control of a new net domain aimed at green groups.
".eco should mean something and it should be about something more than just another domain," Trevor Bowden told BBC News.
The .eco domain has been made possible because of a relaxation on Icann's strict rules on top-level domain names.
Sweet, another TLD so spend money on. It's impact will be as massive as .name, .museum, .coop and .aero. How often did you type in one of those TLD's? So much for "mean something". Consumers are already faced with official looking seals created by companies to make their products appear more eco-friendly or healthy or whatever helps selling them. Now they can buy a .eco too. Really, I couldn't care less about that TLD.
