Netbook.co.uk Domain Name Goes up for Auction

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Domain attracts 12,000 EUR bid.

The domain name Netbook.co.uk is on auction at domain brokerage Sedo. It has one bidder at 12,000 EUR ($16,700) with 4 days remaining in the auction.

Netbooks, or small and cheap laptop computers, are a hot sales item these days. Earlier today, Google announced it is creating a new operating system that will initially be designed for use on netbooks.

Computer maker Psion had claimed trademark rights to the term netbook, but has since struck a deal to allow the term to be used. Intel owns the domain Netbook.com; it will be interesting to see if the chip maker is going after the United Kingdom country code domain.

Also at Sedo, mixed martial arts video web site MMAshare.com has attracted a bid of 50,000 EUR ($69,300). According to tracking statistics at Sedo, the web site attracted about 350,000 unique visitors and 2 million page views over the past month.
