An enlightened survey on new gTLDs? ICANN doesn't think so!
Have a look at the ICANN blog and you'll see a post by ICANN Director of Media Affairs Brad White. The post is about a survey commissioned in England by a registrar called Gandi. The survey, carried out by The Future Laboratory, questioned 100 UK businesses about the new gTLDs. The result, as touted by the survey, is that "Two-thirds of the 100 UK businesses surveyed are still unaware that liberalisation (of the Internet) is happening."

Everyone is copying the domain name system
Read a story somewhere that Facebook will soon allow users to register their own "vanity URLs". From what I understand, anyone with a Facebook account will be able to request a correspond Facebook.com URL, with a key word of their choosing. So I could have facebook.com/stephane for example.

It sometimes seems as though ICANN's plan to open up the Internet's top level to an unlimited number of new suffixes is coming under constant criticism. That's partly because those sending the loudest "don’t do it" messages would have us believe that they speak for an overwhelming majority.
