The Record Breaking Blog
Here's what's up, what's down, and what's going on in my record-breaking world.Wednesday, January 25, 2006
Anyone who saw the international edition of CNN.com (or various other new sites across the globe) today would have confirmed what I've been saying all along: breaking the record for the most expensive domain makes headlines all over the world! The Sex.com sale has proved that my concept actually works...except of course that the media attention surrounding the sale of this domain would be A LOT GREATER, considering the circumstances of the sale of this domain (i.e. that it was sold for the sake of breaking the record, making me rich, giving to charity, and creating the most publicized Ad in history) and that millions will be split amongst charities and my supporters! So I was very happy to see the Sex.com sale make headlines and prove my point!
The reason for all these headlines is a new article from Reuters, which claims that Sex.com actually sold for "$12 million and involved cash and stock, as well as requirements that the business meet certain performance targets." This is $2 million less than had been reported by Xbiz originally. There is also speculation that the previous owner of Sex.com also maintained a minority stake in it, so he didn't sell all of it. This goes to show what I mentioned in my previous blog entry, that we need to wait until the dust settles to see the exact details of this sale (I'm sure they will change again). Like I said before, if the Sex.com is confirmed and accepted by the general public, I will have to make the appropriate changes to ensure my domain remains TheRecordBreakingDomain.com
So keep supporting the feat, ladies and gentlemen, because this game just got a whole lot more interesting!
In other news, I have rescheduled my "domain in the sky" for this weekend (finally!), so if mother nature cooperates, my domain should be flying sky high in a few days. I will have cameras ready to record the event, which of course, I will post up here.
