Heard about the new ".Jobs" domain yet?(can you see the superbowl commercial already...) The new suffix has been approved to make it 'easier' for employers to put all of their career related sourcing info in one place...or so they say.

I love the idea, really, it makes sense, and it's a revenue generator for the holding company behind .Jobs, however, I can see that the road to adoption will be a long one...not as long as it took most every company to get a website, but not people will have to get used to a new suffix when doing an already challenging task - searching for a job.

More on .Jobs from:

WSJ CareerJournal - Web-Site Suffix .Jobs Is Added To Make It Easier to Find One

Society for Human Resource Management - New dot-jobs Internet domain to debut in 2005

And still no .xxx extension? Ignore one big problem and fix a problem that doesn't exist. Sheesh.

It's hard enough with all the extensions already,because there's a suffix to the suffix too. Apart from .biz, .info, .tv, .cc (cocos), .to (tonga),
... which all came after the regular known extensions like .com, .net, .org and the country's own abbreviations (mine is .be for example), there's also the extenional suffix for the .com (.com.tw for example).

Later on, if you wanted a 'free domainname + free 'sponsored' webspace', another suffix was added to the existing domainname. (.com.tk)

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization responsible for the administration of TLDs worldwide, approved several extensions that are not specific to any country. These are:
.areo
.biz
.coop
.info
.museum
.name
.pro

For you previous poster :

In searching for your domain name, you may encounter Web sites offering extensions like .xxx, .free and .mp3. These are not true extensions endorsed by ICANN; rather, they rely on software solutions to guarantee their accessibility to users.
