The website, MakeUp.com recently sold for a seven figure price to makeup company L’Oreal; the domain was transferred to L’Oreal USA Creative, Inc. in early March.
Personally I think the generic domain name sold relatively low.
L’Oreal is already one of the worldwide leaders in the makeup and beauty industry and acquiring this domain name will increase the success of an already successful company.
3D movies have become popular again with the release of Avatar and it is safe to say that 3D technology will improve over a very short period of time. Many more movies are set to be released in 3D and we have the ability to watch television in 3D; even YouTube supports 3D videos now. But as technology evolves, you have to ask: Is it worth registering 3D domain names?
When registering domain names you have to keep in mind how fast technology is evolving and how far ahead of the craze you will need to be, as an example 3dtv.com was created 14 years ago. Someone had a lot of foresight 14 years ago…
The ICM registry has won an appeal for an independent review of the .xxx extension.
The proposed TLD .xxx is suggested as an option for sexually explicit Internet websites. .xxx would be suitable for adult material, similar to .edu for education and .gov for government bodies.
The .xxx would be suitable for adult material, similar to .edu for education and .gov for government bodies. The appeal has caused controversy for both those for and against the introduction of the TLD.
The idea of .xxx would be to implement a way for those who wish to provide access to pornographic nature on the web and also make it easier for those who don’t wish to view explicit material to block the websites. This would also make it easier for search engines to block .xxx websites.

Following this trend five other Alexander McQueen inspired domain names were also listed on online auction site, eBay.com. All of the below domain names were created on the 11th, 12th or 13th of February, just days after the international designer’s death.

New TLD‘s are continually being added and it can be easy to get caught up in these.
A generic name, such as ‘shoes.com’ can prove to be a good investment but a domain of another TLD, such as shoes.do or shoes.dm, will generally have a much lower value.
There are ways to benefit from ccTLD‘s and gTLD‘s, although this can prove to be very difficult.
.mobi is a sponsored TLD which provides the Internet to mobile phones. .mobi domains are made to be viewed on mobile phone screens. .mobi registry is sponsored by Nokia, Samsung, T-Mobile, VISA, Vodafone, Afilias, Ericsson, Microsoft, Google and other international mobile identities.

As mobile phones replace every day computers it may be worthwhile for you to look into the .mobi extensions. Before purchasing a .mobi extension you need to deem whether marketing via the Internet will benefit your business.
