Applications for newTLDs are now being accepted via the ICANN website here.

Expect lots of coverage in the mainstream media about this in the next few days.

You can also expect plenty of outrage from some quarters, upset from others and maybe a couple of legal battles for good measure.

I posted a bit more about what newTLDs are and aren’t over on the company blog this afternoon.

Let the games begin!
