We’ve had a big year at XYZ and we’re glad we’ve been able to share our success with some good friends along the way, like GoDaddy. That’s why we’re happy to announce their recent accomplishment of reaching 100,000 .xyz domains registrations this week. To celebrate, we are highlighting a few GoDaddy customers who have created some of our favorite .xyz sites.
From introducing disruptive new technologies to creating apps that top the iPad App Store charts, GoDaddy customers are great examples of the innovation coming out of #GenXYZ. Check out all of these adopters from GoDaddy who are making waves around the world below:
Lisn.xyz – GoDaddy customer (India)
One of the best parts of discovering a new artist or song is getting the chance to share it with others. Before, this would mean splitting headphones or finding a link to send over. But with Lisn.xyz, you and your friends can enjoy a song together in real time – no matter where in the world you are. Lisn cuts out the hassle of sharing songs to friends by syncing the timing so you can enjoy the track together.
NDPM.xyz – GoDaddy customer (United States)
NDPM.xyz is a site created by college student Patrick McHugh, using a clever four letter abbreviation meaning Indie Night (his personal branding) paired with his initials (PM – which also stands for “post meridiem”). Patrick uses his .xyz domain to showcase photos, drawings, and video shorts he creates – pulling inspiration from his journey into adulthood. NDPM.xyz is just another great example of how creative young members of #GenXYZ are exploring and sharing their passions with the world on short and brandable .xyz domains.
Converge.xyz – GoDaddy customer (United States)
As the internet and technology age grows, it seems to get harder to stay on top of the most recent trends or emerging techs. Brand experts Broadsuite Media Group (BMG) share this feeling, and that’s why they expanded their business with Converge.xyz. Converge acts as BMG’s informational resource – giving businesses the necessary insight into the ever changing market, while also developing strategies to help grow their brand and secure clients in the digital era. Among its roster of clients are SAP, IBM, Dell, LinkedIn, and YP. Converge practices what they preach by using @ConvergeXYZ across all of their social media handles to create a consistent online presence. Just like .xyz, Converge is educating businesses on new trends and strategies that resonate with the next generation of internet users.
These GoDaddy customers illustrate exactly how .xyz is able to bring people together, whether it’s by sharing new music, your creations, or making the world a better place. We are proud to have GoDaddy as a partner, and we look forward in continuing to foster this community of innovators together.
TechDay Los Angeles just wrapped yesterday, and Team XYZ took the day by storm! Naturally, .xyz was the talk of the convention, which hosted over 300 startups and 10,000 attendees from the emerging Los Angeles tech community. If you were at the convention, it was hard to miss us – from the #XYZsquad breakdancing through the convention center to our live-streamed interview with NASDAQ at their Founders Lounge.
As a respected leader in the financial reporting industry and a trusted source for business investors worldwide, the XYZ interview with NASDAQ was easily the highlight of the day. NASDAQ joins the ranks of major outlets such as Bloomberg, CNBC, and Reuters who have all covered the success of .xyz. Watch the full interview with NASDAQ below:
As always, XYZ’s interactive initiatives ensured that .xyz remained on everyone’s minds throughout the day. The purple people which compose the #XYZsquad were out making a splash with their parkour and breakdancing moves, while taking pictures with convention attendees and sponsors alike. We also handed out special .xyz 3D glasses to view our exclusive 3D site, www.gen.xyz/3D. Be sure to check out this innovative microsite (if you haven’t yet already) to learn more about how some of the biggest names in their industries are using .xyz to connect with their audiences in unique ways.
While the #XYZsquad was air flaring and power moving, Team XYZ had some great conversations with leaders in the Los Angeles tech community, including Uber, Coding Dojo, and Codesmith. We also ran into the music curation app Indigenous Beats, who was already using IndeBeats.DigiM.xyz. They told us they’re set to launch their new .xyz website in November (don’t forget where you heard it first!). In fact, you should expect to see quite a bit more of .xyz – both in the news and out in the wild – after our successful trip to TechDay LA.
By the end of the day, Team XYZ was able to educate and further spread awareness about .xyz and its end users through several interviews, productive conversations, and engaging initiatives. The overwhelming support from fans at TechDay solidifies .xyz as the go-to domain extension for new businesses, startups, and young adults who are just getting online. Everyone had a great time at TechDay LA, and the #XYZsquad will be ready with a whole new bag of tricks for the next one!
Echoes.xyz – Gandi customer (United Kingdom)
Tomorrow is the first day of Autumn, #GenXYZ! Taking a walk through the city in the cool air to see leaves changing colors is a great way to spend a fall afternoon. But what if there was a way to make exploring your town on foot even better? This week’s #WebsiteWednesday will enhance your walkabout by adding a whole new dimension: Echoes.xyz.
Echoes is an app that turns your average stroll into a culturally immersive experience by using your phone’s location to trigger audio interactions connected to landmarks around you. As you are walking, “echoes” consisting of music, stories, and interesting facts relating to your surroundings will play. Not sure where to go? The echoes will guide you along your own private walking tour. For example, if you find yourself exploring a new city like Red Hook, New York, you can use the Echoes app to discover its rich history and unearth the unique quirks it has to offer.
But perhaps the most innovative feature of Echoes is that it allows anyone to upload content, fostering a community of users that collaborate and share tours they’ve created. Users can add echoes through the Echoes.xyz website or on the app, allowing the community to interact with each other on the platform they are most comfortable using. Echoes also partners with towns to develop customized tours, extracting knowledge from the people who know them best. Our favorite example of this is an audio tour of Sussex, which highlights the city’s rich film history. The app ensures that your sightseeing adventure will be culturally enriching, educational, and unforgettable.
Fittingly, Echoes was created through a community campaign launched on IndieGoGo that raised more than its financial goal. It also received thousands of dollars in funding from the Embassy of Denmark Cultural Development and Exchange Fund in Hanoi. Echoes has taken the support they received in their initial campaign and created a truly inspiring augmented reality app. Just like .xyz, Echoes designed a platform which provides its international community of users an open space to educate and collaborate with one another. Their innovative spirit makes Echoes.xyz a great example of how #GenXYZ is using .xyz domains to connect with each other and create revolutionary new technology.
Multilanguage.xyz – Dynadot customer (Argentina)
With adoption in 230 countries, .xyz is the platform for businesses and individuals to connect with their global audience on an international domain. But what if your audience doesn’t speak the same language as you do? Well, there’s a [Weebly] app for that now – and in this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, Martín Massera tells us how your message can be heard in any language with Multilanguage.xyz.
Multilanguage is a Weebly app that lets your visitors easily change the language of your website to the one that best suits them. Their intuitive design allows for visitors to easily switch languages at the click of a button, while maintaining your website’s visual appeal. Multilanguage also works on mobile to ensure a great experience no matter what device your visitors connect from.
We reached out to Martín Massera, creator of the app, to learn more about Multilanguage.xyz:
XYZ: What was your inspiration to start Multilanguage?
Martín Massera: It actually started because a friend wanted to have many languages in his Weebly site. I love Weebly because it lets you add your own code and edit the HTML and CSS of your site, so I decided to create a simple javascript code that would selectively show pages according to which language the user wanted to see. I then posted it on a blog just so that other people could benefit from it, and the response was amazing…
How do you see your app?
I always saw the app as two things: covering a real need for users, and also as a channel of self expression. I expressed my values in the app, being as open, giving and carefree (not careless!) as I could. I deliberately let users extend their trial period as much as they need, and I give free accounts to all who need.
Tell us about the reason you choose a .xyz for your domain?
It has this thing about the alphabet, language, that goes well with the Multilanguage theme. It also sounds fresh, new. It’s not “techy”… I considered .io but I didn’t want Multilanguage to be a “tech startup,” I wanted to reach individuals and small businesses, just like Weebly.
What are your goals for Multilanguage and can you share with us any exciting new features to look forward to (i.e. languages, services, etc.)
I’d love one of two things to happen: that we become the top reference for Multilanguage in Weebly, or that Weebly adopts Multilanguage into the platform itself. I just teamed up with a person in France to take the app to the next level. We are going to be working on usability, improving the user experience a lot, and also we are thinking about inline translations, as well as to offer automatic and manual translation services.
The ability to communicate is crucial to building strong communities. Multilanguage.xyz connects you with people all over the world, regardless of what country your website comes from. Bringing people together by eliminating language barriers? Sounds like Martín is speaking our language!
