Man makes $2.6M for Domain Name

Chris Clark of Maryland received $2.6M for his domain name, www.pizza.com. If you don't think keeping a domain name that doesn't mean much to you think again, it might just mean something to someone else. Chris had the domain since 1994 and kept it maintained for as low as $20 a year. In the beginning the site was for a company he was trying to win over but kept it. Now after 10 years it has paid off, in fact it did more than pay itself off. Today, he's a very happy man.

Twitter a Business Tool

Twitter seems to be the hip new social cast for bloggers, every blogger can do everything they do on facebook or myspace but without the pictures. At least so far you can't add pictures. Unlike both social sites bloggers are limited to two sentences per post, so it's a mini blog in a way and bloggers love it.

But it seems twitters have become the next tool for businesses out there. Not only can they post about their sales but they can show a link to a new blog post whenever one is made. Will you business be joining twitter?
