Mid-2006, when Twitter was born, the domain name Twitter.com changed hands for $7,500, chief executive and co-founder Evan Williams tweeted yesterday night.

Roughly four years,

145 million users and 300,000 third-party applications later, I wonder what it’s worth today, particularly given the fact that the Twitter website still draws a massive crowd according to the same Williams.

I have no idea who the domain name belonged to before Williams bought it, or what is was used for. It does sound a heck of a lot better than Twttr, which is the name creator Jack Dorsey gave the messaging service initially.

If you’d like to read more on the early days of Twitter, here’s a good place to start.

What’s the most you’ve ever paid for a domain name?
