Domainers are strange creatures: they like to re-invent technologies that existed for decades.
For example, the current craze about “3D domains” is getting out of control, with strange keyword combinations prefixed by “3D”.
If you don’t believe us, check out 3DUnderwear.com on DomainTools.
“Some schmuck found it prudent to register any keyword under the sun and tag ‘3D’ to it, how uncool”, said Barry Folgerson a games developer from California. “Sure, I understand if you register domains like 3Dgames.com or 3DTV.com but 3DUnderwear? WTF is that?”, he exclaimed while finishing off a Starbucks frappuccino.
The next wave is already here, however.
On Friday, the new technology show in Los Angeles – the “Technonomikon” – opens its gates to thousands of people that will preview the latest technological advancements, among which is the spanking new “4D” experience.
“I knew the 3D fad would not last long”, said Marsha Pot, a computer designer and domainer from Philadelphia. “I mean, hello??? Why register domains that are tied up to dimensions? So now there are new gadgets and games coming out from Apple and Electronic Arts and 4D will soon be the next big thing! Hello???”, she added while chewing some gum.
We’re not sure when exactly the new implementation of 4D will hit domainers, however it’s very likely that during Domainfest a lot of such 4D domains will be auctioned off on Moniker’s live auction.

Hi,
4D does not replace 3D and …..4D has been around for while….1984
The whole CES show in Las Vegas was about “3D”….. Muti-billions are being spent on it right now by some of the biggest company’s in the world…and they have been doing it for the past couple years…. and will continue to develop 3d technology in the coming years.
You think they do not know about “4D”?……
Your 3d TV or 3d camera is not going to be called a “4D” next year or the year after that.or the year after that….

Peace To All,

Thats crazy to say “3D domains is already a fad”…most of the products have only just been released in the last 12 months or so. The 3D technology has only just started and will be around for a long time and will be used in most industries in one way or another.
I have invested heavily in 3D domains and I am rejecting decent offers every week, just waiting for the right time and end-user to come along. I agree there are a lot of people grabbing some pretty strange 3D keywords and those are people that will end up losing money and dropping the names after a year or two. If you are smart and do some research on what will be big in this niche, there is decent money to be made now, never mind in 2 or 3 years, the trick is whether you are patient enough.
Anyway, my 2 cents worth….good luck to everyone in 2011
Giles – If you have “invested heavily” and “rejecting decent offers every week”, I think that makes you an unreasonable investor 😀
Holding onto trending verticals is the best recipe for disaster, long term.
I’m into 5D domains already… gotta keep ahead of the crowd.
Hey guys, i thought of registering a bunch of domains in every dimension possible!
1d
2d
3d
4d
5d
6d
7d
etc. I plan to be the multidimensional domainer!!
there is actually a major underwear company witha a range called 3d do that explains the 3d underwear names.

i just bought 7distheshit.com i expect to sell it in about 5 years for a quarter million dollars
Pattaya – so you’re telling me it’s a blatant trademark violation? Can’t wait for 3DTrademark.com – Oops! It’s already registered and parked.
Dan – Vertical markets that require a “proof of point” aren’t worth investing in.
7dtv.com is dropping at SN
