You guys need to check out this CBC News video coverage from 2008 where they discuss the launch of some new gtlds.

It's also interesting to hear some of the public's opinions about domainers from more than a decade ago.

Some say domainers are "smart" and "it's no different than what happens in real estate", while CBC also highlights "the seedy side of this cyberspace rush"... where they explain how they themselves have been the target of abusive registrations.

They also speak of Webnames.ca which I found neat.

The video is only two minutes long so I won't spoil any more of it. Definitely worth the 2 minutes.

"Rush for new internet domain names"
8 years ago | News | 2:08

In a few weeks, hundreds of new domain names will be available

Thanks for that. At the ~13 second mark she says there are "240 billion domains registered"...hmm, that's a little off :)
