Snapnames Offers Upgraded “Download” Lists

This just in from Snapnames: “New & Improved Daily Auction List Downloads”. For all of you who automate the downloading and parsing of the dropping domains in 5 days list, this is a heads up. There is a different URL for the “classic” download page.

As time goes on, I hope more types of domains will fall into the “liquid” category. As the Internet expands, I don’t see any reason why short domain investors have anything to worry about despite the present dip in the economy… x fingers!
