The Public Interest Registry has announced that there are now 7 million .org domain names. Yep, its pretty much as we all thought - .com .net and now .org at 3rd position.
Since 2003.org registrations have increased more than 250%. Alexa Raad, CEO said “.ORG continues to be the domain of choice for individuals and organizations who seek to brand their efforts under a globally trusted and respected address.”
Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia has also come to the party around .org saying “We can’t imagine Wikipedia as a .com — .ORG is a core part of our identity,” “.ORG is available to anyone in the world, and it is a great way for an organization to signal an ambition to be inclusive and global.”
Has .org become that alternative? Is it the bio diesel of the domaining world?

Except that wikipedia.com redirects to the .org.
No dummies there.
