So I doubt this will change much. It's a way for large corporations (like ebay) to show off and have their own shiny TLD. You are also right that there's a possibility for some startup possibilities, based around a nifty sounding TLD (my.blog), but I feel like the number of very useful names is very limited. This would be a very different game if the price was to drop by an order of magnitude.
