Supposedly it was the first day of a new second level domain and you were given an opportunity to purchase any domains, without knowing anything about the prospects of the first level domain itself (say, a small country somewhere). What domains would you go for?

I am not talking about the google., yahoo., facebook.* and of the similar nature. I am talking about the type of like sex., games., tourism., hotels., etc. Is there a list anywhere that could give me a general idea?

Is it your intent to collect domains for making money, without doing anything? Then i would beg you not to do that, it's a real annoyance for people who want to create useful websites, and can't get the domain that would fit them. – martinstoeckli May 2 '12 at 10:56
This information is pretty useless since domains under any .tld I am asking about will already be taken. I am generally curious what are the most sought arter domains. – Guy May 2 '12 at 11:00
Actually ICANN will create a lot of new top level domains soon, at the moment you can preregister for them. So may i ask, what your intention is? – martinstoeckli May 2 '12 at 11:13
@martinstoeckli, I didn't know that (Where can I read about this?). I own 5 domains, all of which are in active use. Thus, not a domainer. Primarily curiosity. – Guy May 2 '12 at 11:15
Well then i apologize, you can google around for "new top level domains". – martinstoeckli May 2 '12 at 11:20
