I was thinking of getting my name for it as all the other 7 major extensions have them all taken =/

Anyone see any potential value in investing in .asia domains?

Check if your name available.
Most people made it pre-booking before landrush.

My real name happens to be available..was thinking of regging it as all the other 7 major extensions of my name are taken...

Hmm sounds quite good. I might round up some domains if i have the money

Nope, .asia just doesn't sound right to me..as a good thing to have on the end of my domain.

The thing about .asia is that Asia alone is so big and has lots of potential in future. And right now most domainers don't believe Asia will succeed as a extension thus cyber squatters never really mass buy .asia domains which could lead to higher end-user developments which would in turn lead to a very successful exntesion.

Besides right now China is already the 2nd most number of Internet users. It's only a matter of time before China beats US to internet usage followed by the rest of the countries in Asia.

The registration fee is costly with a price of single .asia domain I can buy many .info and .com domains I haven't registered any .asia domain names.

My friend registered unblock.asia and it's making about $100 a day now xD Btw Godaddy is having a promotion of .asia domains now for $9.99 if I am not wrong, either godaddy or dynadot.
