dotCoop Launches New Map-Based, Multimedia Directory
• The dotCoop directory has geo-tagged every resolving .coop domain into its new, map-based directory. This is provided free of charge with the registration and resolution of a .coop domain.
• The dotCoop directory enables every member to add video, photo and contact information to their listing. Each member also has their own, unique map – and in turn, their own unique map URL, enhancing search engine optimization for their domain.
• The dotCoop directory helps members share their maps via custom widgets. Each member map has a unique widget that can be posted on social networks, member websites and other partners thereby generating additional traffic to member sites.
"The new dotCoop directory helps our customers harness the power of the Internet; it is multimedia enabled, map-based and plugs into social networking sites. We're bringing our members the best the Internet has to offer and we're thrilled to announce this as a great benefit of owning a .coop domain," says Carolyn T. Hoover, CEO of DotCoop. "We are committed to helping our cooperative customers keep in touch with their key audiences. The newly improved dotCoop directory assists in driving additional attention and traffic to member sites.”
DotCoop invites owners of .coop domains to edit, update and enhance their listing by visiting www.directory.coop.
.Coop sites are owned solely by cooperatives or cooperative organizations. It’s how to locate the original ethical businesses on the Internet. A listing in the dotCoop directory is offered free of charge with a resolving .coop domain name. To purchase a .coop domain name, visit www.coop.

About .coop
Launched on January 30, 2002, .coop is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) approved by ICANN for the identification and use of cooperative organizations around the world. Unlike other global top-level domain names such as .com, or .org, the purchase and use of .coop domain names is restricted to only bona fide cooperatives and cooperative service organizations that ascribe to the Cooperative Principles of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) (www.ica.coop),such as member ownership and control.
