Internet.com has been totally out of sync for the last 10 years or so. It's sad that they could have done it way much better. To be frank, $18 million is quite an insult, but they deserve it. A very good buy for the buyer, which is only possible during a recession.

Another good transaction (a bargain for the buyer).
This domain summer is super hot.

What's the big fuss, it's not the Internet, it's "Information Superhighway" :D

I think internet.com domain alone will be worth many million dollars. Also developer.com will be also worth a lot.

Bargain for the buyer.
