description: I examined the new ICANN applications for top-level domains like .museum, .biz, and .xxx. It is interesting to see the diverse range of bidders competing to control these new additions to the global domain name system.

A whole new range of domain names, ranging from .museums to .sansansan [have been bid for](http://www.icann.org/tlds/tld-applications-lodged-02oct00.htm). I wonder who .biz and .xxx will go to.
