Unless you use Google Toolbar or FeedBurner, Goo.gl won’t be of much use to you for now.
In case you’re interested Google, www.Google-Nexus-1.com is being sold buy-it-now for $US5000, described as a “premier domain name for millions of hits”. [eBay]
According to GoDaddy, you should maybe stop buying .tv domains because Tuvalu, who owns all such domain names, is currently sinking underwater. Once Tuvalu no longer exists as a nation, the domains will also disappear.
ICANN has just made a decision that goes beyond allowing .xxx to be a top level domain; they’re allowing all words to be top level domains. That means you’re going to see domains like fuck.shit, shit.shit, shit.fuck, whatisthisshit.fuck, and so forth. What’s not allowed is domains that conflict with trademarks (.pepsi was the example), too similar to current top level domains, or names associated with countries or governments (juicy.turkey). Companies will also register their products and services, leading to really annoying domains like pleaseplayyour.ps3pleaseplease, or dontyouwantanother.ipod. Nice one, ICANN. Nice one. [USA Today]
