I just spotted that blo.gs is for sale. They don’t really have an asking price so make them an offer. The sale includes sale of:
- the blo.gs domain name (and all subdomains)
- the weblo.gs domain name
- the database of blogs (and related databases)
- all rights to the blo.gs software
The owner writes: ‘I don’t have a price in mind, so don’t ask. cash-flow wise, the site has cost approximately $3500 to date (mostly for hosting), and has earned less than $750 (mostly from google adsense ads).’
So it doesn’t really sound like a hugely profitable venture that you’d be buying – rather its a ‘renovators delight’ type project.
Yeah… it isn’t too appealing.
They – or the new owner – can make better use of the pingbacked URLs.
Hmm… It’s actually tempting…
Not for traffic or cash, but to raise the profile of what we’re doing…
Yahoo has since picked it up.
