I'm surprised the article didn't mention the value of the domain. I used to work for a domain name marketplace where we sold kittens.com for $6 million dollars. France.com has to be worth a few million. Painful.

I can't detect if you're joking but that seems pretty messed up. I guess from the looks of it today, kittens.com didn't turn a profit?

  Not joking. Single word domains under the .com tld are worth a lot, especially very common words. I don't know that kittens.com was ever turned into anything, they may have just bought it betting on it being worth even more in the future.

    That's impressive. I need to re-calibrate my assumptions about this. Thanks!
