As we count-down to TRAFFIC Vancouver I’m excited to release even more of my interviews from TRAFFIC Las Vegas. Michael Berkens is one of the most well-know people in the Domaining industry, along with being a serious Domain Investor he also writes one of the best blog on the Internet – The Domains. Michael is someone you’re more than likely to see at a TRAFFIC show and definitely someone that I look-up to in the industry.
Three days until TRAFFIC Vancouver – I can’t wait!

Gtlds cant be overpopulated due to their startup price, its too expensive to get lots of new gtlds created in just 2 yrs.
Its very interesting typing in address bar like your were typing in google and having real websites open with info you were looking, some examples:
– order.pizza
– send.gifts
– best.prices
– drink.cocacola
and so on.
This change will also benefit some cctld’s that have a meaning behind like .tv and .me,
– Open.TV
– Cable.TV
– Date.ME
…etc
Domains will take more of google search power and make people type more in their address bar than in their google search site.
