Now in its fifth year, the 2010 Domain Name Wire survey will collect the opinions of hundreds of domain name owners and service providers around the globe. The survey is open until February 4, 2010.

I love the quote I saw in Newsweek yesterday:

Well we?ve been out of the domain/blogging business for a while as we have had 2 major projects to work on ? one is still in development and the other www.oilprice.com is now ticking along nicely.
