Over
the years
we
have been fortunate to have been mentioned in
numerous national mainstream publications
including the Wall Street Journal, New
York Times, Forbes, Newsweek, CNN/Money, ABC
News, BBC News and on the front page of USA
Today. However, as a former TV guy, I
didn't feel like we had really made it until
this afternoon when we were part of a trivia
question on the national TV show Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire.

Co-Founder John
Ferber happened to catch the show (unfortunately,
only because he was feeling under the weather
and was home recuperating) and he grabbed the
screenshot below that he posted on his Facebook
page today.
As
you can see in the photo above, the question
asked by host Meredith Vieira was
"Sold in 2010 for $13 million, what
URL was considered by the Domain
Name Journal to be the most
expensive domain name of all time? The answer,
as all of our readers should know, was
Sex.com at $13 million, a blockbuster
transaction we reported
in November 2010.
I
don't know if the contestant reads DN Journal
but she did get the answer right! Now, if
we could just get on Jeopardy! :-)
