Two new internet suffixes approved

ICANN gave final approval to two new internet suffixes - .jobs and .travel - which could have a large impact in both of those industries. For those of you in the travel sector, for instance, you could snag the perfect domain name for a new site. While it may have little impact on your search engine rankings, it could have a huge impact on the branding of your site. What wouldn't you give for a domain name like kauai.travel for instance? It may still be several months before you can run out and purchase your favorite domain names for the jobs or travel industries, since it will take a while for the set up and registration procedures to be ironed out. But I imagine, when that day comes, there will be a domain name rush, reminiscent of the dot-com era.
