Just a few dozen second level domain names for new TLDs have been registered so far. Yet it looks like people are already typosquatting on them.

I saw that Namebrokers was giving away "Domain Broker Licenses" to those that complete their program. I've been doing this awhile and as far as I can see anyone can give away a license at this point.

A large meteorite, weighing 800lbs or more, exploded on the ground in Scottsdale, Arizona, yesterday – very close to the GoDaddy headquarters.

Donuts' pricey Early Access Program for its new gTLDs could prove quite lucrative for registrars. Go Daddy today revealed that it's charging $12,500 and up for first-day "priority" registrations in 14 Donuts gTLDs, a $2,500 profit on Donuts' EAP registry fee, which I believe is $10,000. The EAP is Donuts alternative to a traditional landrush [̷...

GoDaddy issues its pricing for jumping the line for Donuts' domain names.
