Redirect?  My first acquaintance with .eu was when someone emailed me
saying they had registered dannyreviews.eu and asking if I'd like to
buy it off them! (I ignored them, and the domain seems to have gone
away now.)  So I'm not terribly impressed so far.  I suspect most of
these new TLDs are, as the article David suggests, just there to make
money for the registrars, not to fulfill any actual need.
