.ORG Community Registers 7 Million Domains
Posted on August 25th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 2 Comments »
The Public Interest Registry, the registry behind the global .ORG domain name, announced today that more than 7 million .Org domain names are now registered, making .Org the third largest gTld (after .com and .net).
“This is a significant milestone for .ORG, as it has consistently grown 20% percent year over year since its management by Public Interest Registry,” says Alexa Raad, CEO. “.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.”
The growth in .ORG registrations has been driven by internet and societal trends such as social networking, issue awareness, online collaboration and advocacy, all of which have accelerated since 2003.
The individuals and organizations that are precipitating these trends have found a strong sense of community within the .ORG domain. This has fueled the phenomenal growth of not only .ORG domains, but also the quality content and the sense of trust associated with the “.ORG” brand.
“We can’t imagine Wikipedia as a .com — .ORG is a core part of our identity,” says Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia and member of the Board of Trustees of The Wikimedia Foundation. “.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.”

.org domain registration will continue to rise because there is certain level of respect built in .org domains due to its non-profit image.
Also google seems to like .org domains imo.
My opinion is that google not prefer the .org domains. But users prefer to make a good site in the .com .net .org than mini sites that prefer cheaper solutions…
