Can anybody point me to a single .INFO domain that isn’t junk? All I see is .SPAM and .CRAP. The .INFO TLD has “officially” been co-opted by idiots. I can only think of a few reasons why you’d want to register a .INFO domain:

  • You’re a spammer
  • You’re a marketer (read: potential spammer)
  • You’re misinformed
  • You’re a brand masochist
  • You couldn’t get .COM, .NET, .ORG, .US, or .MXYZPTLK
  • You registered when .INFO was well-intentioned

If you’re a .INFO owner, sell it to a spammer and rebrand yourself – please. For goodness sake, let’s take a mulligan and pretend this whole .INFO thing never happened. I suppose .BIZ is just as .BAD! The only TLD the world really needs is .XXX – which would make filtering a helluva lot easier.
