Dublin, Ireland (Vocus) November 3, 2009
Now the public has a voice in whose INFO they like best. Today, Afilias, the registry operator for the .INFO domain, opened its 2009 .INFO Awards to public voting. Anyone around the world can now vote for their favorite of the top 10 .INFO Web sites selected by a panel of judges.
?The .INFO domain is the global home for anyone with information to share. The submissions for this year?s awards program reflect .INFO?s global appeal and the inherent usefulness of an Internet domain entirely devoted to information,? said Roland LaPlante, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Afilias.
The 2009 program garnered more than 50 entries. The most popular categories for site submissions included special interest Web sites (28 percent), private Web sites (23 percent) and business/corporate Web sites (17 percent). (IMAGE: http://www.info.info/webfm_send/91)

Notably, the UK accounted for 6 percent of submissions, while India and France both had 4 percent.
