| Damn! I hate seeing gibberish, but I understand that others hate seeing our Latin characters too. - Quote :
- Four new generic top-level domains - the letters that appear at the end of web addresses, such as .com - have been announced.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) is expected to roll out the new names within weeks.
They are: شبكة, the Arabic word for "web"; 游戏, the Chinese word for "game"; and the Russian words for "online" and "web site", онлайн and сайт.
Icann hopes hundreds of new top-level domains will eventually be made.
Until now, generic top-level domains (gTLDS) - as they are known - were limited to mostly familiar endings such as .com, .net and .biz. | |
