.New is a domain extension exclusively for performing new actions online: any act that leads to creation can have a quick and memorable .new shortcut associated with it.

Essentially, what this means is that you can start something new simply by typing in a web address into your browser! Ever heard of Google Docs? Thought so. Anyway, if you go to docs.new in your web browser, you will be directly in a new google document. It is quick and easy. More examples below. Keep in mind that the examples given generally require you to have an account with the service in question.

What Can You Do with .New?

The Beginning of the End

As nifty as these .new internet shortcuts are, I’d like to introduce some of my own. How about pizza.new, taco.new, or my new favorite, money.new. I can dream, right? Starbucks, if you’re listening, how ‘bout Starbucks.new? I’m all about making my wife happy.

Until next time…
