Interesting. Shows Google would be interested if ICANN agrees to auction off the reserved 1-letter .COM domains they hold. Jay Westerdal suggested that could raise $2m per domain but with bidders like Google involved it could even exceed those estimates.

Interesting, but not actually the shortest possible...I believe www.g.cc could be short, as well.

Heh Bill - yep the headline of "The Shortest Domain Ever" wasn't so well thought out when in the same article they reference Z.com/Q.com and X.com. Go figure.
