stuff like book and bookings, buy and quote may suit the extension but very limited for the average domainer, sure to avoid,

Just under 640,000 new gtld's registered (combined) keeping in mind each extension can 'reserve' one hundred names
Interesting article, links and basic info about Google and their gTLD strategy. http://mklnd.com/PQxK1p
Another good article I found that adds context to our discussion about the gTLDs and existing extensions. http://bit.ly/1rO0x53

Yes an interesting read for sure,98 extensions for google. It's ricks favour not to endorse these horrible new gtlds, so no surprise there, i guess if it works for you why change

Hehe, rings.cheap...? or something like flights.cheap be the way these domainers are thinking?
Still trying to get my head around it, it still seems a bit backwards to me.

I'd say the keyword is going to be round the wrong way on almost any combination.

I like Tonys comment on Ricks blog. "The people that made the real riches during the gold rush were the ones selling the shovels and maps."
Some of the domains will work. Brand is brand. I'd say some will be successful and may even buy the .com. But yea. .com will still be king for a long time to come

seems the small percentage of domainers that welcomed the new gtlds will be expected to carry the load while the registrars go for the big bucks, most end users would not even know these extensions exist though ??

Good on them
I avoid the spotlight. I've only reserved one gTLD which is quite obscure, outside the box thinking for a Niche that wouldn't be completely obvious. It is a .zero and it will be mine... hahaha

From what I can see it is about 1/3 who are investing (looking at polls on domain blogs), so I don't think it is small %. That probably doesn't include people on the outside of the industry who get involved.
As far as as expecting domainers to carry the load, they are going into it of their own free will because they think they will make a profit.
Think of it like people playing the lottery. Yes the lottery knows those people are fools who are collectively going to lose millions but that is the game, tell them they could get rich and watch them get poorer, it is a cash transfer from one side to another.
