[Wikimedia-l] .wiki TLD

[James Salsman]

Someone is willing to pay $210K for the .wiki TLD? The Foundation
could have had it for $120,000 in 2009, per Rod Beckstrom's quote. I
did an analysis showing it would have probably have been worth it then
in amount of time an extreme compact URL would have saved typing.  It
turned out that users' time would have only had to have been worth
$1.50/hour for it to pay for itself in five years, but since then
combined search/URL bars have become far more prevalent, so I'm sure
that's gone up along with the price. Meh.
