Earlier this week, Sedo unveiled their new user interface. This caused a big reaction within the industry, with over 90 comments on our news article to date. Today, Sedo have responded to those comments with a list of upcoming fixes and their overall goals for the redesign. It's excellent to see such a prominent company actively engaging with their users in this way.
Here's this week's Top Topics.
Companies That Believe in the Future of New gTLDs
New gTLDs are still a divisive subject. There are those investors that believe in them, and those that don't. One investor has produced a list of companies that own their own new gTLDs, and whilst the majority of these extensions aren't known to the public, some companies have opted to make the switch to their own new gTLD.
One of the best examples of this is Canon's move from canon.com to global.canon, citing exclusivity and reliability as two reasons for making the switch from a .COM.
