When I got an email from Chicago.com owner Josh Metnick with a subject line that said "Something amazing is happening!" I sat up and took notice as Josh is not a guy who is given to hyperbole. We got on the phone and he did indeed have an amazing story to tell - one that will be music to the ears of owners of top tier .com domains.

It's strange to hear that people would pay that much for an email address. I can't see this getting big, only a handful of personal names that people would want and that's it!
