微博与推特

据称IT人张伟波1999年注册了与自己名字全拼相同的域名“Weibo.com”,12年后的2011年4月1日,新浪市场部给他打电话商谈购买域名一事,最终以800万人民币的价格成交。

昨天新浪正式启用了weibo.com,我的微博地址也成了http://weibo.com/xiaoguang。

我有个朋友要注册一个公司,向我咨询取了什么名字,虽说我没读多少书,也没有商业上像样的熏陶,但还是应允下来。于是我们就在qq和电话上互相沟通,一会儿两个字,一会儿三个字,一会儿四个字,最后自己都看不起自己了。

有一天,这个貌似向我学习了不少反动言论的朋友告诉我,名字起好了,叫“推特”。我在电话这边大笑起来,我怎么就没有想到这么有才的名字呢。不过小心被老大哥河蟹哦。
