[Vision]

Great truth tidbit in TechCrunch today --

author opens up discussion, "What’s the most you’ve ever paid for a domain name?" --

The posts ok, but some of the arses in the comments really annoy me 'domain investors are cybersquatters' 'you do know paying that much for a domain is a con?' etc etc... The article writer could have also done a bit of research before writing parts of that article... Rant over.

Oh, and the most I've paid is quite small compared to most: mid $x,xxx

I like how the author of that article is unrepentant about doing no background research; seems proud of it, in fact.

I guess that's appropriate in a discussion about Twitter. Today's news model: just spew something out quickly, with no regard for quality control.
