Want to own Weather.com? How often does a domain name with such a great following come up for sale? Now is your chance. Landmark Communications is selling the domain name and as a bonus, they're throwing in the Weather Channel with all the software and more.
It is expected to sell for $5 billion because of the huge brand identity and traffic loyalty.
Implications - Too bad just billionaires have the chance to buy The Weather Channel and Weather.com. It would certainly be something to brag about! Weather.com actually came in second place for having the most December monthly views in 2007 for their News & Media section. Hopefully they can still keep up the good work with new owners!
