GEN X WEB ADDRESS WORTH $75,000?

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Would you pay $75,000 to own the web address generationx.com? Incredibly, that's how much a Los Angeles company hopes to get for selling its registered address of "generationx.com." The trendy web address belongs to a web design company called Empty Street Productions which registered the generationx.com name in 1994 as a joke. Company spokesman Pat Ortman claims advertisers automatically assume the company owning the web address is hip -- even though Ortman admits there's nothing particularly hip about his firm. Ortman says the company became interested in selling the name after it received an offer from Marvel Comics to purchase the generationx.com name.
