New DNA social media site highlights “in the wild” domains
The Domain Name Association has launched a new web site to show off domains, primarily new gTLD names, that have been spotted “in the wild”.
InTheWild.domains points to a Tumblr blog where members and others can share, for example, photos of billboards or promotional videos that prominently feature new domains.
“Tumblr offers the DNA a very efficient and flexible platform that will help the DNA social media team and you find and post more domains, rather on non-productive management tasks,” the DNA told members.
The site currently has a few dozen posts, such as a WePark.nyc billboard and a VSquared.rocks red carpet video.
Most listed domains are in 2012-round new gTLDs, but there’s a .info, a .us and a .co in there too. I don’t see any .com names.
The submission process appears to be open to everyone, but submissions are moderated by the DNA’s social media people.
Read DG more often 😛

Never heard of it.
Hi Kevin,
.Com examples are welcome at InTheWild.Domains, such as this very cool billboard for QuitPlan.com: http://inthewild.domains/post/121835451373/quitplan-com. The key is we want to show creative uses of domains, where the domain name itself adds value to the presentation and/or is uniquely creative. 🙂
Best,
Jeff
