.info continues its steady decline

It doesn't need to continue declining - even if it stays at 650 reges a day you're still got no worthwhile momentum.

Tee, in case you forgot - on the 8th there were 8000 .com net additions - and on the 9th 1,000 net deletions.

8000 - 1000 = 7000 net additions.

But like snoopy said, its kind of pointless to base an argument on a single days activity (or 2 for that matter).

Or one month

Look at the general direction. Hows info been doing over the last 6 months?

How .com been doing over the last 6 months?

 

tee, do you have better statistics to show the growth you are alluding to? I always preferred numbers over opinion

 

[Tee]

Your friend safesys has the stats.

And he appears very happy to show them.

Why don't you ask him?

Just ask for more than august and preferably 3-6 months to get a general flavour.

here is the .com figures for 6 mths,

Yesterday -- 21,310,436
July 15, 2002 -- 21,270,830
June 16, 2002 -- 21,243,232
May12, 2002 -- 21,382,537
April 14, 2002 -- 21,581,810

3 mths - net gain of 50-60,000 (about 0.3%)
6 mths - net loss of 170,000 (about 1.2%)

 

tee, as i said earlier in this thread - the stats i'm posting are from when i got zone file access.

I assumed you'd got facts to hand to support what you were posting. Was I wrong in thinking that?

 

[Tee]

So basically .com has declined by over 200k.

Yeah that's good.

Support what I was posting?

Can you be more specific?

loss of 1.2% over 6 mths? gain of 0.3% in 3 mths?, weren't you saying it was collapsing before? these don't seem like major changes in my view.

Your math is wacky Snoopy.

Those who didn't get .info and .biz names during Land Rush are starting to realise they missed the boat, yet again :sad:

Can't find any good generics left...

sorry the net loss should be 270,000, not 170,000, thanks, will edit

Just a very small list of the hundreds of .coms that are expiring every day. No wonder why .com is imploding.

.Coms basically just drop now.

.Info is actually being heavily used (endusers) versus reges, not by major corporates yet, but the ground is being laid for that to occur (recognition and succesful use).

I'm not basing it on velocity of registrations. I'm basing it on use of extension right now. Many studies have shown a very high use of info with many original sites.

Meanwhile .com drops.

Com has been collapsing for a while now.

.info is being used, here and internationally.

Take your pick.

 

[Tee]

I guess I have to be repetitive.

Go to afilias - they have an article on it.

Go to domebase or infoawards.

Actually don't even go there. Go to google and look.

Are you saying .coms are not dropping and need proof of this?

Come on, its embarassing. -270,000 + in the past six months?

What if we looked at a year?

 

[Tee]

Wait till we have a few high profile .info resells.

The sense of .info is what will come home to roost.

You can forget all about .com when that happens.

Granted it hasn't happened yet - but the game is afoot.

The volcano is active.

Care to wager safesys on info sales in october?

 

Mole, just a very small list of the few hundred .info's that are being registered every day:

adkorea.info
adks.info
adl.info
adl-gmbh.info
adl-gruppe.info
adlab.info
adlabonline.info
adlaca.info
adlamp.info
adland.info
adlandpro.info
admed.info
admedia.info
admelkert.info
admenage.info
admepk.info
admera.info
admet.info
admetam.info
admetox.info
admfeed.info
admhealth.info

Data available from the .info zones.

************************

So (figures are rough only ) (.com figures only)

Timeperiod , Gain/Loss

Over 4 years +20,000,000
Over 3 years +15,000,000
Over 2 years +7,000,000
Over 1 year -2,000,000
Over 6mths -270,000
Over 3 mths +60,000

 

Afilias have an article saying how great .info is? You don't say ...

With respect to domebase, there are 900k+ .info registrations.

As has been shown, .coms are actually increasing.

In fact, its ironinc that .com has shed more than .info is likely to achieve - ever.
