CBS buys CNET. It's not the world's sexiest purchase.

However, CNET owns some of the best domains on the Internet. This list is amazing - maybe the best there is under one roof.

Kids.com, Help.com, Computers.com, Download.com, Online.com, TV.com, Upload.com, News.com, Search.com, com.com, Builder.com, Gaming.com, Shopper.com, Marketplace.com, Updates.com, Store.com, Buying.com, Chat.com, Welcome.com, Browser.com, Shareware.com, Freeware.com, Auctions.com, Labs.com, Community.com, Silicon.com, Radio.com

I have no idea what those names are worth, but it wouldn't surprise me if they trump whatever CNET's businesses are worth - seriously.

I remember over 10 years ago, when Cnet bought news.com from a domain speculator for 100k, which at the time was the highest price ever paid for a domain.

What's it worth now, in combo with all the other domains? 1.8 billion. The content is secondary to the value of the deal.
