Well, it looks like Zillow has finally made it. The Seattle online real estate company was the subject of a Jeopardy! answer Monday night.
Appropriately enough, it occurred in a category dubbed “dot-com,” and a history professor from Cypress, Texas by the name of Babu Srinivasan nailed the $400 question.
In fact, Srinivasan is probably a fan of another Seattle startup, since during the interview segment of the game show he explained that he recently bought a $4,400 camera so he could take pictures of his cat. (Sounds like a Cheezburger addict).
“That’s why they invented the Internet, you know?”

Think you’ve got what it takes to compete on Jeopardy?
Well, here are the four other answers in the dot-com category. Do you know the questions?
—Wordpress.com bills itself as “a better way to” keep one of these Internet diaries.
—”This site sums itself up as “Real People, Real Reviews.”
—”The first online-only show to win a Golden Globes was “House of Cards” from this dot-com.”
—”Got a Tip” asks this celeb news site founded by Harvey Levin.”
As a bonus, later in the show another tech-oriented softball was asked in the category of the “1990s.”
—Geeks rejoiced when the 95 version of this replaced version 3.1.
