Vista.com was acquired by VistaPrint Limited last week for a fee of 1.25 million dollars. The sale also included the trademark that Innuity, the seller, had on the name. The domain was the highest selling one for the week ended November 11, earning six times as much as its nearest rival, DIY.net, which sold for $200,000.

Defensio- a competitor to Akismet ?
Spam is a big problem for all the bloggers out there-something that would come first on the list of things that bloggers would like to see eliminated from the internet. Akismet, as mentioned in the link above is a tool that does its job exceptionally well. It has a virtually unquestioned hold over the wordpress anti spam plugin market. Since it comes bundled in with the wordpress package, it is something that most new WP users notice after installing their blog. I was a bit pleasantly suprised that Akismet decided to give their newest rivals a little publicity on their official blog.

All LLLL.com taken
It was always on the cards after all the three letter coms had disappeared, but has now become reality. Yes Folks, a few days ago, all possible LLLL.com’s were registered. This was the countdown thread at Namepros. Owning a good name could help you rake in the moolah, as demand exceeds supply. In a few months time, even a crappy domain might cost you anywhere between 15 and 20 bucks to get, and the good ones will go between $50-100, and maybe even more, depending on the letters involved.
