I posted in October the last remaining 131 2-character .io domains. I checked them again last night and they are now all gone.
The domain g2.io was registered on July 15th, which was the last available 2-character .io domain:
Domain Handle : DOM-309097
Domain Name : g2.io
Domain Status : Live

Expiry : 2016-07-15What was the first? go.io was registered by Disney way back on Feb 3rd, 1999, which I think was the 2nd .io domain ever registered (the first was yahoo.io):
Domain Handle : DOM-71660
Domain Name : go.io

Expiry : 2015-11-25When will the last of the 3-character .io domains be registered? There are still a lot left, but if the huge recent spike in interest in .io domains continues, it won’t be as long as we think.
