I’d like to propose that a .awesome TLD (top level domain) be added. The .awesome TLD will help to certify that the site you are visiting is at least 90% awesome. For example, your website could be something like www.radical.awesome. Your email could be something like jason@is.awesome. There’s probably at least a hundred more really cool ways this TLD could be used.

Of course for this TLD to effectively work there would need to be some pretty strict regulations as far as who is allowed to register a .awesome domain name. I think the only way to be sure the applicants are worthy is that I will have to approve them all personally.

The judging criteria would probably get complicated pretty quickly as everyone would of course want a .awesome domain name. I can imagine the “gold rush” effect would be pretty similar to when the .info name became available. Some automation would surely be required to help with the process. With that in mind, I feel sites with the following topics would be automatically approved:

• Robots
• Ninjas
• Home videos of guys getting kicked in the groin

A few things would obviously not qualify for the .awesome domain automatically. Those subject would include:

• Domain squatting
• V1agra
• Any movie with Sandra Bullock

If you’d like to pre-register for a .awesome domain, please post a comment below with your suggested name.

Awesome!
