‘New Domains Are Coming: 2 Steps Marketers Should Take’ – Silverpop Blog

Jeff Dellapina says, “Seen anything different lately in your database? As a good marketer, you should be periodically checking email addresses as they get added to your list. If you have, you may have noticed some strange extensions popping up. The reason? New top-level domains have arrived on the Internet.

Until recently, there have been just a few top-level domains (TLDs), including:

• .com
• .net
• .org
• .gov
• .edu
• .mil

Next came country codes, such as .uk and .fr.  Now, the big stuff is coming. Top-level domains like .club, .guru, and .florist. are now available, with possibly thousands coming in the next two years”.
