Last May I wrote an editorial titled "Why I'm opposed to new top level domains". I outlined six reasons that I didn't like the current proposal for new top level domain names.
Nine months later, I still have many of those same concerns.

Verisign has recently reported that TLD registrations are closing in on the 200 million mark. There's no denying it — this number is huge. It can also be intimidating for the average consumer to hear this. With 200 million domain names registered there can't possibly be any good ones left. Wrong.
