Why do I have a feeling this is a bad idea. It's already hard enough to get normal people to type in the url into the address bar correctly, now introducing these new extensions on a mass scale... I dunno about this one. This is really going to fuck up the internet.
I do have a feeling that there is going to be a bigger need for search engines as a result though. Problem is no one takes a website with a .us or .biz as seriously as a .com - so now you got www.DickHead.ceo or www.Clown.management. This is another Godaddy cash grab from what I see.
There should be a limit to the length of the extensions. This shit will only confuse the average user in my opinion. And trustworthiness of SEO.marketing, I mean www.SEO.marketing - now I gotta use the www. to display that it's a domain name now.
Good luck bros.

This is an ICANN cash grab not one from godaddy. You don't really have to type in www. SEO (dot) Marketing sounds better.
When I'm explaining SEO.Marketing I have to type in www, otherwise the sentence might not make sense. Like in this forum post. Shit is only going to confuse people.
Example:
"I work at BlueMedia.agency"
give it 6 months, only squatters are going to be rushing to this.

The only thing I can see is that it will further cement .com as the daddy of them all thus they will remain king of the domain name.
Not a fan of this at all... It's alluring, and looks so awesome (since it's "new"). But this is just going to be a huge shit storm and hassle. Reading their trademark deal, it's $150 to pre-register, but it doesn't even guarantee anything? lol. Like what's the point then, so you just have the info in your database and fork over $.. And get nothing, but "hope"?
I feel like this is just a way to make ludacris amounts of $$ for them. Right now there are so many domains being squatted on, this is the perfect way for them to get past that problem. Just make more extensions so squatters will spend more $$, and normal people can find more choices.
I still want .com to be #1.

squatters are the registrars who will be auctioning off to trademark holders during the sunrise phase - those will be buying those to "protect their brand".
This reminds me of the time I grabbed loans.us.org and dreamed of all the internet monies I would get one day from such an awesome domain.
Sold it for $11.

I think some of the "big brands" will get in on it and redirect to homepage but no one will ever really notice or care. Just a new type of vanity plates really.
EDIT: Seems like an "peasant" extension of this: Brands bid for new domain names | News | Marketing Week
"The full list of submissions for the new top level domain names that allow companies to replace the traditional “.com” or .”co.uk” ending has been unveiled, revealing some interesting entries from brands.
The biggest spenders on applications for the new domains were Google and Amazon, who between them racked up more than 100 submissions. Each application cost $185,000."
