I would also call attention to one of the comments to the article that caught my eye. These may be the most expensively traded names, but the mere fact they've

been traded recently suggests that they're actually not that valuable, certainly not when compared to the likes of amazon, google, and yahoo. It seems cyberspace and real-estate space have very little in common. If a domain name represents a cyber location, then the first, second, and third laws of Internet economics are NOT "location, location, location." Instead, it seems the Internet "real" estate is better understood through the words of Juliet: "What's in a name?"
