There seems to be a fashion for .io domains among the cool sites. From what I see, the domain isn't cheap: this one is $32.98/yr from NameCheap. When I am going to start a web experiment, I think I am going to go with .xyz which goes for $1, because I'm cheap.
Is there anything inherently useful in running a domain like .io?
