A new Top-Level-Domain (TLD)?

Nov 27, 2007 Uncategorized

Okay, I’m an internet junkie and I usually hear about stuff like this but this one took me by surprise. I was watching TV a couple of weeks ago and saw an ad tempting people to visit Utah. At the end of the ad it said, “Visit us at ‘utah.travel‘.”

What?! Who’s ever heard of .travel? Have I been sleeping or what? I’ve seen sites that use foreign country codes in odd ways (del.icio.us) but this is actually a whole new top-level-domain.
My 30 second search found ‘idaho.travel‘, ‘pennsylvania.travel‘ (under construction), ‘alabama.travel‘, ‘florida.travel‘ (forwards to ‘visitflorida.com’), ‘arizona.travel‘, and ‘montana.travel‘. This is a seriously underused TLD.

What other ‘.travel’ sites are you familiar with? What other top-level-domains are out there that I’ve never heard of?
