In September of 2010, HiveMail.net was sold via GoDaddy premium listings for $200.

Twitter, the popular "what I'm up to now" and "here is another link for you to look at" social network site has picked up T.co, which it plans to use to wrap all URLs posted on its network by its users.

Bido.com, the domain auction site, is closing today May 5, 2010. That's according to a tweet on Twitter, from yesterday - May 4, 2010:

Bido is ceasing operation as of May 5, 2010. All transactions and accounts will be gracefully finalized and closed.

The company has been in existence since early 2008. Unfortunately, after changing it's auction model a hand full of times, it has not been successful in finding a winning formula for revenue growth.

There is some more information and some interesting comments at DomainNameWire.com's post on this.

I agree with what Ron Jackson had to say i the beginning of his post. Personally I have only 2 or 3 hyphenated domains. As a US domainer, for some reason, look down on the hyphenated domains, even though I know of some great sites whose domain names are hyphenated.

I suppose it makes no difference if the domain name is hyphenated as long as there is a developed site behind it and it is producing good content, gaining and retaining visitor traffic.

With an average of 12,000 visitors per day, according to Compete stats, Domain Name Wire reported yesterday that servers.com was sold for $770,000.

Way to go. Congrats to the former owner, and good luck to the new one.

We had a long and close to unpleasant experience with an Illinois energy sales rep. You can read a recap of the event here.
