Collecting the set

As of last week, I now own angel lane .org, .com and .net. Snapping up that last one felt as if I'd completed a set of Monopoly cards.

There are other generic top-level domains (.name, .biz, etc.) but I'll not fall into the trap of going after them too.

Professionally I argued against the creating of new gTLDs. Everybody wants to be a dot-com, and most will go after 'their' name in each new gTLD to 'protect the brand'. The end result is an ever-increasing cost to businesses, with no direct benefit (ultimately it's the dot-com that you promote). Only those selling domains will see direct benefit.

So three is enough for me. Beside can't I now charge double rent and start to build houses and hotels?
