Gustav: Over 100 Domain Names Registered

In the past 24 hours over 100 domain names were registered with the name Gustav as part of them. Most of these sites are parked domains and many of them are for sale. They will be worth monitoring, particularly if they are used to solicit donations for relief efforts. Please make sure that you verify any site that asks for donations to ensure that it is legitimate. If you have any doubts, please visit the Better Business Bureau site.

This kind of data is becoming an important part of every disaster - how many, and how quickly, domain names get registered, how many are used to raise money, and, of course, how much money gets raised. Great post!
