CBS Interactive quietly sold the Killer domain name Events.com sometime in late April of this year to BUMP Network, Inc.

CBS Interactive is a subsidiary of CBS Corporation which owns CBS.

CBS Interactive purchased Cnet in June 2008 and acquired this domain name Events.com as part of that acquisition.

BUMP Network, Inc owns Bump.com which is a different company than Bu.mp which was recently acquired by Google

While Bu.mp is the developer of Android/iOS app that allow users to share contact info, photos, and other files by bumping their phones together, Bump.com and its app seems to allow you to communicate with other based off their license plate.

Events.com is now taking email addresses for “invitations” once it launches.

Events.com simply now says “every event, everywhere”

Here is how the company that is getting ready to launch Events.com describes its Bump.com product:

BUMP‘s integrated web/mobile safety, communication and membership platform is designed to meet the expectations of today’s world, where real-time communications is the expectation.
