.Club at Launch Hackathon: Video

How .Club got 79 people to develop projects on .Club domains in a matter of a couple days.

Yesterday I wrote regarding Radix and .Club participating in the Launch Hackathon in San Francisco. I also commented regarding how Hackathons are a great way for fresh top level domain registries to get actual usage of their domains.

.Club has posted a video showing some of the 79 projects that used a .Club domain name.

Obviously, not all of these will turn into full-fledged businesses. Still, it normally takes a lot of effort to get 79 firms to try out a fresh domain. And everyone in attendance saw other teams use .Club, so they’ll think regarding using it (or one of Radix’s domains) next time they launch a project.
