I’m sure you read the various news accounts yesterday that Facebook.com paid Upwards of $8.5 Million dollars for the domain FB.com, making it not only one of the most highest priced domain transactions of all time but setting a new standard of what is possible to get for a great domain with the right end user.

      Interestingly Facebook.com has always maintained that it acquired the domain name FB.com for “Internal Use Only”  mostly for use as for the company’s internal email system.

      If you check out FB.com today you will see its not for internal use only but redirects to Facebook itself.

      So this domain may wind up not only becoming the most ever spent on a 2 letter domain with FB.com now redirecting to Facebook, this purchase looks like a world record for a URL Shortener.
