My first .Cards spam, which might actually be a good thing for fresh TLDs

I received some spam today that linked to a pretty good fresh TLD.

Over the summer I received a spam email linking to a .club domain name. The spam didn’t really have anything to do with .club; the domain choice seemed random. The .Club registry acted quickly to take action against the domain name, which is rather unusual for a registry.

Today I received the my spam linking to a fresh TLD that truly takes advantage of fresh TLDs, and this might actually be good for the registry: MerryChristmas.cards.

I hate getting spam. Everyone hates it. But in some ways, this spam shows that fresh TLDs are coming of age.

Frankly, this is a good use of the .cards top level domain name. Although I’m sure the folks at Donuts don’t condone spam, I’m sure they will appreciate people discovering that there are now unique ways to end a domain name.
