Google uses .New TLD to create shortcuts for Google Docs

Type “Doc.New” to easily create a new Google Doc.

Google is using its .New top level domain name in a unique (and perhaps unprecedented) way.

People can now type certain .new domains in their browsers to instantly create Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites and Forms.

If you are logged into your Google account, try going to one of these domains:

doc.new
form.new
sheet.new
slide.new
site.new

This is an interesting idea. It goes beyond the typical URL forward by taking you to an action-based URL.

Here’s a tweet from Google that lists more domains you can use.
