No change, dropped and sold some, bought about the same amount.

Portfolio culling? Yeah, I dropped 99% of ASCII names. So much for city + service long tail names.

I learned my lesson dropping IDN, when I dropped what I thought was just an OK .CN. Some sharp-eyed dood picked it up and sold it for x,xxx LOL.

Dropping 25% mostly .biz and some .nets and a few .coms that were pretty bad to start. If I knew which language will be next to pop, I would start actively purchasing in that language. Which language do you think it will be? Right now my thai and arabic are neck and neck for second place.

Dropping some stupid IDN purchases (screw ups, etc.) and let go of a lot of my LLLL.coms/ASCIIs.

Last year I just renewed everything and didn't really care, but been really spot-on looking through stuff this year.

Dropping maybe 10%

Buying more than 10%

Developing some now.

I culled a year ago - maintaining status quo for the next year then re-evaluate.

Dropping mistakes as fast as I can find them .nets I have dropped already being a lot more picky on what I buy or reg now. Since thing are not very liquid at the moment and no real sign of a change anytime soon.

I'm planning to drop all but two of my .net domains. Beyond that, who knows...

Dropped a lot of crap both ascii and idn. Picked up a few also.

Concentrating on my niche Chinese mainly .cn but quite a few .com

Will drop a couple of .net and some less interesting .com On the whole I expect to have more names at the end of the year than before.

Will start developing as well, time permitted.

I have more names now than the same time last year. Will be dropping some mistake regs though, replacing with better domains.

I've decided to invest more capital into development and out of parking. And portfolio trimming is good discipline.

getting rid of many hong kong influenced xxyy.com IDN's ...
that make sense in the south....

with the PRC use of yyxx.com .... 3/4's common usage...

likely that dot HK or dot TW will have those expressions...

about 5%....

5% of my Hindi's are incorrect.....
I think my double owned Russian IDN's with/ and without hyphens are a hold.....
for now...

as for development.....
I am playing with mobile web CMS tools......

I think RSS/ twitter/ IM/ SMS content is going to be better than parking..
