Friday is an ordinary workday for most Americans. However, this past Friday was not just any friday – that is for the porn industry at least. At approximately 11:59 p.m., the first .XXX top-level domain went live.

Porn.xxx and Sex.xxx are now up, working, and ready for the world to see. ICM, the company in control of .xxx registrations, placed generic content on those domains so they are safe for your viewing. The links include generic comment about the .xxx extension, a top-level domain extension dedicated to adult websites.

The .xxx extension is a controversial TLD, debated for almost 11 years before ICANN chose to dismiss the advice of national governments across the world. It is in fact the first time that ICANN has ignored the advice of national governments to approve a domain extension.

What do you think of the newly approved extension dedicated solely to adult websites?
