Some Internet Triva For Ya

• In 2008 there were 28 million new domain names registered.
  
• At the end of 2008 there were a total of 177 million Top Level Domains in existence
• In order the 5 largest domain extensions were .com, .cn, .de, .net and .org
• 2008 represented a 16% growth in new domains.  The largest ever.

 177 Million didn't seem like a lot to me, given the number of people on the planet.  I guess I assumed that everyone had a couple of domains.  What IS big however is that 28 million new domains were registered last year.  I don't think that the fellas at Rand, MIT and UCLA could have possibly envisioned the colossal entity that was in it's infancy.

Today, I think that it's pretty safe to say that the internet has changed the way we live our lives.  Research,  shopping, entertainment, work and so on.  If you own a business, the real question is whether or not you are using the internet to maximize your business potential.  It's not just for eBay anymore.

If you are still with me here on The Big Bald Blog, thanks for hanging around during this time of inactivity. 

Be back soon.
