Dot Com Domain Registrations Booming
from the back-to-the-bubble.. dept
Let's see, the stock market has been going up, with some dot coms at questionable valuations. VC spending finally picked up. Dot coms are filing for IPOs again. And, now, it turns out that more people have registered dot coms than in the bubble years. Sounds like the bubble is back! Or, more likely, instead of completely overhyping everything, people are taking a more reasonable approach to using the internet, and realizing that (well, look at that), it really is a useful tool.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
