Facebook Acquires Fb.com for $8.5 Million
Mashable reported earlier today that when Facebook recently bought the domain name Fb.com, Zuckerberg and company paid former owners, the American Farm Bureau, $8.5 million for the coveted dot com.
Supposedly, the Farm Bureau is laughing all the way to the bank being that they barely even used the domain. Their official website is actually www.fb.org.
Great! Just what America needs: more spoiled farmers showing off their overstuffed wallets with diamond-encrusted tractors and golden calves.
Maybe now that you got an extra $8.5 million in your pockets you can share some of that Dom Perignon with the rest of us, farmers!
These farmers should be ashamed of such extortion. While Facebook employees are busting their asses trying to figure out how to further monetize a website with over 500 million users, what are the farmers doing? Selling domain names they don't even use like lazy fat cats!
I just hope that one day all those farmers will learn the value of a hard day's work.
