The Internet Corporation for Assigned Named and Numbers (ICANN) recently announced that there are a few big players in the tech industry that are looking to get their hands on new top-level domains which could completely change the internet once again. This time around, Potential candidates include: .music, .lol, and .wow. Interesting isn’t it?
But that’s not all, some big technology companies like Apple, Samsung, Google are looking to once again change the landscape of the web. Companies like Google are looking to try to place their company name as part of their own Top level Domains. This implies that Google sites may no longer be only .com but you may start seeing things like .google, we can confirm from reliable source that Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Samsung, Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL), Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE), Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK), Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:ORCL), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), Yahoo ! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) and AOL . Inc. (NYSE:AOL) are all currently trying to add this feature to their domain names.
Google, the world’s largest internet search engine also applied to nab .android, .chrome, .cloud, .lol, .vip, and .wow.
Amazon also made more than one applications beyond its name and that includes: .book, .fire., .music, and .free.
Microsoft application includes a range of its brands which covers .azure, .hotmail, .skydrive, and .skype.
Other companies such as Symantec applied for .cloud, alongside .protection and .antivirus.
Perhaps the one that could raise eye browse includes TLDslike .sex, .porn, and .sucks, according to CNET News
Tech companies are not the only ones gunning for the TLD action. Consumer brands such as Wal-Mart, American Express, Johnson & Johnson, and AllState have all applied for multiple Top Level Domains.
Other domains such as .home, .free, and .movie made the list of the names with multiple applicants.
