  1. Wow, I wonder how someone can recover the investment only by running a website. The website needs to be very popular… my.life will be something similar with Facebook? Maybe?

  2. Congrats to the seller and buyer. This is why I was so surprised at the money some new TLD operators were throwing at domain names in new TLD auctions
