Wired.com just published a story on the 25th Anniversary of the first domain registration, Symbolics.com.
The article highlights the history of the first domain registered including up to its recent acquisition by Aron Meystedt, of XF.com last August and well as some other important dates in domain name registration history
An interesting article you should check out.
Congrats to Aron

Congrats to Aron for securing the domain.
This puzzles me though, I just typed in http://www.aronmeystedt.com and it does not go to either XF.com or symbolics.com?
Maybe a slight oversight?

It just sold last August so you can ask Aron but I doubt if he will tell you
Aron says
Lol Bruce.
Just so everyone knows, every time something cool happens in my life, Bruce happens to be sitting at my local Panera’s.
The streak now stands at 5 events after today.
This is getting eerie man π

CNBC mentioned Symbolics.com this afternoon.
They interviewed someone from Verisign and some author.
Verisign mentioned some high numbers how much the internet is worth.

AronMeystedt.com says
I bought the first ever domain with a dot
But someone beat me to mine, which I clearly forgot
I donβt know what to do from now on
It looks like all my domains will be sadly gone
The time was short I did have a blast
Not getting my name was my critical error, oh ghast.
