Here is an interesting fact about the new released .Asia domain names:

The land rush for .Asia Internet domain names, which started on February 20th 2008, received over 250,000 applications within the first 24 hours of opening. As a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation, DotAsia is dedicated to the adoption of the .Asia top level domain (TLD). Through strategic sponsorships and investments, it understands the importance of creating sustainable value for all .Asia domains.

I think I am going to look into a .Asia domain while they are hot!

Does anyone here have one??
