(the above opinion is assuming it was'nt the parking companies that slashed out revenue)...but without any transparancy from either of them how will we ever know ??? “parking revenue will rebound in 2010″

Why would it rebound in 2010 if
Google earnings, revenue, clicks and price per click were all higher in 2009 according to the following article.

In terms of something that actually does better than parking for most names I think it will be a very long wait.

Thus, the poor content effect (or 404 syndroma) doesn't pay anymore ;-) @ Steve: Any mass development framework will imply a mass content duplication, and I can give you really tons of those services which are miserably failed. The thing is: anybody who has built up a software to develop domains rather quickly will have it with agregation thus duplicate content. He or she has no real interest to share it with domainers, coming with their infinite junk domain collection to spam the Internet. On the opposite, if you do with a limit number of domains, and domains with backlinks, it may works pretty well. I speak from my own experience. As a conclusion, I seriously think that any hope for a turnkey solution for the dummy domainer will end up unsatisfied.
