Attn: Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

Following the record setting sales of several domain names, BigShiny.com has been put on the auction block at GreatDomains.com.

BigShiny.com was originally registered by its current owner, Ryan Bruins, as a domain name to host projects while in collage several years ago. Since then it has be host to several private home pages, and has acted as a launching point for a few minor software development projects under the name "Big Shiny Software".

While the domain has been sitting idle for the past year, it has still attracted several thousand "type-ins" (website visitors who just "type in" the domain name to see what is there) which is a good indicator as to the value of such a domain name. Following an unsolicited offer for the domain name, it was decided to put BigShiny.com on the auction block.

As it has been proven, a marketable domain name, that is easy to remember, is a critical factor in creating a successful E-business. The term "Big Shiny" already used by several companies as
