Certainly. Ideally, I'd have left it as .com, .net, .org.

How many TLDs does a rainforest need, anyway? :P

I'm certainly particularly interested in .dev, because I'd like to have a .dev domain. I think there's a lot more people who are developers that would want a .dev than apples that would want a .apple domain ;)

(I actually use /etc/hosts to map byuu.dev to my VPS' IP when I'm setting up a new box before deploying it to the world.)

> Also, with regards to your concern that there is a lack of variety in available unrestricted TLDs - I disagree; if anything, there are far too many (there's hundreds!!).

Still wishing someone would buy .emu for people to use. Anyone have a few hundred thousand dollars lying around for a good cause? :D
