Scott Smith lets 8948837.com (Twitter) go

The dotcom wordnumber for Twitter, 8948837.com, has recently changed hands. The coveted web property was sold by numeric domainer Scott Smith to a fellow Canadian domainer only known in the transaction (and domain whois) as the entity 'MAGA.COM INC.' MAGA was the high bidder on a Sedo auction in November 2008 for 4632339.com, which spells GoDaddy. The final bid, paid by MAGA, for the Godaddy dotcom wordnumber was a measly US$75. How much Scott Smith sold 'Twitter' for is not known. He had in recent years listed the bulk of domains in his numeric collection at the 'flat-rate' price of US$5,000.
