Does Your Business Have a .tv Domain?

Surfing on the Net (literally) now has a new meaning. Just check out an example at HTTP://www.surfing.tv and see for yourself.

As stated on their website, "… video on the Internet grows at lightening speed, the methods for how users find this content is also expanding. The .TV domain provides a unique opportunity for users to find a media-rich Web site of their choice. By using a .TV Web address, companies and individuals can offer online viewers a simple and easily recognizable gateway to finding rich media content on the Internet."

Interesting as it seems, is this some new publicity stunt? What's wrong with .com? It's not broken. Does a .tv domain really distinguish a Business from the rest of the Internet? Google for ".tv domain" and the results you will get are Domain Registrars. Google for ".tv and if your lucky you may find a .tv domain in the millions of TV choices that exist.

I always find it interesting that if Google does not display what your finding, you either misspelled your phrase or Google does not know about it. Then again, they are the gatekeepers of the Internet (enough said on that subject : -) With that being said, there is no real advantage for a Business to purchase a .tv domain, because the real market these days is marketing to Google. Master it, and you will be on page one.

For me, I'm sticking with free Satellite TV on my PC. and surf the old fashion way…with channels.

See you on the Net.
