.tv Domain

"Is there a disadvantage to having a .tv domain beside the fact that few people are familiar with it? Will all search engines be able to find me?" -- JoAnn Matsuo

Search engines will be able to find you with no problem. But since many people aren't accustomed to a .tv domain, they may wonder about your site's legitimacy. This is also true of other less-used domains, such as .biz, .info, .us, but they will gain greater acceptance over time. Since speculators discovered that most .com domain names weren't worth hoarding after all, many good, usable .com domain names are available also.

E-mails from a .info or .biz domain are suspected of being spam by SpamAssassin ver 3.0 (default setting), but a .tv domain doesn't seem to raise those suspicions.
