Beijing time November 13 morning news, according to foreign media reports, according to WHOIS latest information, Facebook has acquired the domain name fb.com.  The current WHOIS domain name has been linked to Facebook and its domain name servers. September, some insiders found that the fb.com domain name has been sold and speculated that the buyer is Facebook.  Facebook previously had a dispute with the American Farm Bureau (Anglo Farm according) over the use of the word "FB", and the US farm office was the seller of fb.com domain names. The U.S. Farm Bureau said in September that it had sold fb.com domain names but did not disclose the buyer's information. The dispute between the agency and Facebook has not been resolved.  So far, the information on the United States Patent and Trademark Office website still shows the existence of the dispute. Industry insiders speculate that the U.S. Farm Bureau is not aware that the domain has been sold to Facebook, the agency is likely to simply sell the domain name to an intermediary. (Nan)
