The most succesful ones will be short catchy ones.. like .web or in Franks list .SEXY and maybe .LOL .ART .INC .PICS or .AUTO at a push….
Longer than that I can only see a limited market for them and mainly only appealing to brands trying to corner a market or protect themselves..

Frank has no competition with anyone else only on above 7 TlD applications.
Andrew Allemann says
.sexy was really smart — and can avoid some of the stigma of .sex
Jim says
He should have applied for .worthless because that’s what most of the others are.
I'll give you $100 for that domain!!! says
None were smart, but selling them is.
These will be great for non-serious ventures. Everyone else that tries to build a real e-commerce site on them will look like a clown.
I think Frank is great, but this whole TLD thing is one big public shaft.
This reminds me of the banking industry where the bankers (registrars) make out and the registrants (the public) get stuck holding a bag of smoke.
Obvious says
Looks like the play here is for him to sell off his interest in the strings for which there are competitive bids and then use that money to offset the cost of acquiring the few which were requested without competition. Resulting in him owning several strings for free. He is probably making the deal as I write this.
Despite all he has done this may well be the chapter of his career that defines frank. Major investment and if it bonbs he will have lost a tone of dough and a ton of cred.
Still wondering where this guy came up with 60 million. Fettucine and rumcakes are not that great are they?
adam says
Who is the target audience of .sexy? . . . why not just go for .vain , .egotist or .dbag . Somebody else went after .smart
.duh
Andrew Allemann says
@ Adam – Frank told me he had you in mind when he came up with that string
