Having written a bit about .uk domains over the last few days (or posted ill-informed rants, depending on your perspective), I was reminded of something I wrote in June about the .eu domain and its continuing lack of appeal within these islands.

Back in April, IT Week reader John McCormac argued that the Euro top-level domain would probably peak in popularity on the anniversary of its founding, on 7 April 2007, and thereafter find its real level of little interest. 

A graph of UK-based registrations since 1 January this year lends weight to McCormac’s view, although the slow recovery after April suggests that the .eu domain may regain it’s former popularity - albeit in about two years’ time.
