    i think its a bit dead cause the recession and new domain extensions are coming out all the time. also am hearing a lot of people now a days saying i dint care about the name am just going to keep marketing it and people find what they look for on google.

    i have a friend who actually google everything even if he wants to log on hotmail or gmail he just type it in the search bar, maybe people are starting to do the same -- just a thought :)

    some big sales have gone through recently. I think one change is that people who intend to park domains have realised that unless they have a super dooper type in traffic hog, they need to develop the domain to get traffic.

    Of course it's not!
    The sale amount is lower than 3 years ago due to economy problems, but there are still good sales.

    Not all dead but the sale amount is really lower. 6 month ago I sold one of my pr 5 domain for $250 but now all i can get is $150 or something like that.
