How much Facebook last year paid for a domain fb.com? Straight 8.5 million U.S. dollars, which is 42 times more than was paid Facebook.com domain.
In November last year, Facebook has introduced a new, streamlined messaging system. It is a combination of SMS messages, chat and e-mail in one interface, although Mark Zuckerberg on that occasion repeated several times "This is not a mail!.
One feature of the new system Facebook Messages to the fact that Facebook.com is awarded a personalized e-mail address. If you find such a friend sent a message to your Facebook e-mail, you will receive in your Facebook inbox (inbox). Unfortunately, employees of Facebook are already using Facebook.com domain for your e-mails, so they had to switch to a different domain and this is the reason for which it was Facebook so keen to fb.com domain.
Facebook has bought the domain this year by the American Farm Bureau Federation, which uses fb.org as your primary Internet domain. At its annual meeting in Atlanta, this nonprofit organization has revealed that she earned $ 8,500,000 on the sale fb.com, Reuters reported.
Last "great" domain which was bought Facebook Facebook.com, because the company was then known as TheFacebook. Facebook in August 2005. paid $ 200,000 for the domain, 42.5 times less than the price paid for fb.com. Although at the time of purchase of this company Facebook.com expensive cost, this investment is clearly paying off, says Mashable.
No doubt that Facebook is hoping to be such a domain is fb.com.
