ICANN will screw up the internet
Sunday, June 29th, 2008The internet corporation ICANN is going to mess up the internet by allowing custom top level domains. This means that people are going to be able to have domains like “monkey.balls”.
If domains like this scour the internets this could be tragic. Finding sites will be so much harder. People are going to have to remember both words used in a url *GASP* or where the point goes in certain urls that are split up like “goo.gle”. I can barely remember where the points go in del.ico.us. I’m just too lazy for this to happen. Oh the humanity!! … Okay, maybe that was a little too much, but like I said, I am too fond of the .com, .net, and .org and I’m afraid it will dissipate into the void.. with the daleks and cybermen.
