sales Apple buys iCloud.net | TechCrunch

[Alan Glennon]

There has been a small social network on the site since 2011. It is closing, and the site states, "All the data will be destroyed at March 1, 2017."

No word on pricing. Apple paid between $4.5 and $5.2 million for icloud.com (and a library of related names) in 2011.

I remember in late 90's when starting doing i prefix keywords reg's

Everyone was laughing

All we said was iMac and Internet

Everyone was chasing e back then

LOL

iCloud.anything is a beautiful thing if you had it before Apple started branding it, now you could end up with a C&D on a new reg

I have that same feeling with 'v' domains. They getting good sales now (many xxxx sales in the last 12 months) and with virtual related technology on the rise (VR/AR/MR) and talk of v-Commerce, just get a feeling that 'v' could soon start having the same sucess as 'e' 'i' 'u' domains.
