.info drops are nothing like they were this time last year.

[Andrew Shaw]

Last year, at this time, good quality .info's were easy to come by in the daily drops. Over the course of one year, I've seen the daily list of "decent names" go from 40-60 reg worthy names, to 1 or 2 if that.

This is terrible for those that didnt purchase any, but for those that have truely generic .info's, I have noticed an increase in demand; and a sure decrease in supply.

What are your views on this? Has anyone noticed any difference in the looks of the daily drop lists?

I have also seen the .info space maturing in recent months - most likely attributable to the growing number of reputable sites in the extension (e.g. germany.info) and the increased vigilance against spam by the registrar (http://www.webhosting.info/news/1/afilias-announces-policy-to-make-.info-safer_1007081701.htm). This bodes well for .info investors and developers.

I think it is great, I have been bullish on .info domains for ages and really love them for geo names.

I've noticed the .info drops becoming less premium and I've also noticed my .info parked domains starting to get type ins and clicks.

It'd be nice to see the market start to mature for developed sites and domain sales.

I've seen prices on sales of generic .info decline the last few months.

That's true, but the middle segment of the market has stabilized. Overall, people are looking for good keyword-value.
