Facebook revealed on November 15th 2010 that it had acquired Fb.com. the acquisition was between the company and the American Farm Bureau Federation. The goal was to use as the domain for internal email in the corporate offices for exchanging with cleints.
Today comes news that the acquisition cost for FB.com was a whooping 8.5 million US dollars, landing the sale on the top of this year's charts. The sale relocated the 6 Million member Farm Bureau over to Fb.org permanently.
“At their annual meeting in Atlanta, Farm Bureau officials on Tuesday said the organization earned $8.5 million by selling a couple of domain names but is barred from identifying the buyer.”
We've put one of our domains up for sale at Flippa to test the domain sales market to webmasters. Retwit.com was first registered on Feb 19th 2007, several months before Retweet was registered. We've held this domain as long as we thought would be necessary to maximize its value and demand. Keep in mind not only is retwit a great name, but it's shorter than retweet - so you have both a twitter rebroadcast and url shortener built into one name!
Although this time of year produces light sales, we determined that the potential for the domain should bring enough bidders to the table. As of this post, Retwit is at $360 with 5 bids and 24 hours to go. Feel free to join in on the bidding or add it to your watch list: RETWIT.COM
