Two Years of .co

The guys in .co have put out a pretty slick infographic on their first two years:

I'm still surprised they sold so many domains, there was a lot of marketing in this, so well done. But I still think it'll flop soon. As domains start to drop investors will release their names and registrations will fall below 1m again

Impressive marketing. However the general usage for .co ccTLD is somewhat less impressive. Probably 50% of .co ccTLD is PPC parked or pointed to Godaddy's PPC landing pages. Some startups in the US are using it but the o.co fiasco (where Overstock rebranded to o.co) made a lot of large companies think twice. The next three months or so (second Landrush anniversary) are going to be important for drops as this is when many domainers make their hold'em/fold'em decision.
