Also hitting the wire today is the sale of MAI.com which sold for 80,000 Euros, which at today’s exchange rate is about $115,000 USD.

There are a ton of possible things that MAI stands for and you can see some of them here.
Congrats to all Buyers and Sellers.

. IT has reached over 2 million domains registered and is good also for Information Technology sites
The ecomomy is finally coming back ! Domain sales are climbing. There are a lot of offers now coming in for domains such as: iCloudSearch.com and FanPageAdvertising.com
Mai is pretty hard to brand in English as it creates too much confusion with May. May is the valuable brand here, Mai is a minor second fiddle to it. Maybe it was bought to use in some Asian language.
Still glad i dropped Ci.gs years ago – just do not see the real world application
I have received a couple of offers lately on a couple of hacks, it seems that things are looking up for them. I think though we will have to wait until years end to see a fuller picture emerging before the shampaigne corks can be popped!
I think domain hack could have more value if with or without Its extension, can be read/pronounced as a words.
ex: register.ing [without ext= "register" and with ext= "registering"] is more valuable than regist.er search engine may read the name as “regist”, and regist isn’t a words? *Those were not real domains, just examples*
But that’s just my ortodox opinion, since domain name sales price might vary according to buyer’s interests and sellers effort&strategy in marketing Their names and SEO. sometimes, unworthy name was sold at higher price than the precious one :-0
