O'Reilly's logo
O'Reilly Media, former.ly known as O'Reilly & Associates, an American media company specialising in technology books, conferences, courses, news, etcetera, head-quartered in Sebastopol, California, with numerous international offices in China, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and United Kingdom, has acquired oreil.ly domain name from Libyan Spider, apparent.ly for internal URL shortening services based on bit.ly pro platform.
This is already a third big .ly sale within a month, following dai.ly, which was acquired by French Dailymotion and quick.ly, which went to a Canadian start-up. If the sales keep coming like this, we will be seen big names serious.ly changing hands week.ly or even dai.ly indeed.

Actual.ly I’m moving the On.ly “Socialize your links” project to my daughter’s domain http://Li.ly and currently in negotiations with On.ly on a new project. Really love On.ly, don’t want to waste it on “just another url shortener”. Alo.ha
Nowadays every big firm has its own shortener: am.az, dai.ly, fb.me, flic.kr, goo.gl, lnkd.in, shar.es, post.ly, wp.me, youtu.be … just to mention a few.
