.XXX Pre-Reservations Breaks The 300,000 Mark Adding 90,000 in Since Approval

According to ICM Registry site there are now over 300,000 pre-reservations for a .XXX domain.

Prior to ICANN’s Approval of the .XXX extension on Friday which came about around 3pm EST, there were only 211,000 pre-reservations so that is 90,000 pre-reservations in less than 3 days since approval.

Of course a pre-reservation does not require any payment but its a indication there is a lot interest in this extension.

    so, the xxx business should become three times the .co and without any PR efforts

    Are these all “Unique” reservations? Do they count multiple interest on a single domain name in that total?

    XXX looks good. Long run they will get beyond 100k – enough to break even.

    There is so much more to xxx, have a look: http://brief.ly/~1BB

    Hesiod’s works, especially Works and Days, are from the view of the small independent farmer, while Homer’s view is from nobility or the rich. Even with these differences, they share some beliefs regarding work ethic, justice, and consideration of material items.
