I got an interesting e-mail that was almost a bubble burster for me from GoDaddy today:

Dear Chris Short,

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN(R)) recently agreed to reduce their Registrar Transaction Fee from $.25 to $.22. What does this mean for you? 

Good news. You have been credited $.03/yr for each domain name you registered or renewed dating back to July 1, 2006* — $.24 has been placed into your Go Daddy(R) account with this customer number: *****. 

Your in-store credit will be applied to your purchases at GoDaddy.com(R) until it’s gone or for up to 12 months, whichever comes sooner.

Now, you might be asking why this is a bubble burster.  Well, it was until I realized that quite a few of my domains were multi-year renewals long ago.  So I guess you could say I haven’t done a lot of new business with GoDaddy.  Still cool regardless.
