Fresh point of view.

Not that I am complaining, but Everyday I read about a website that I have never heard of before striking paydirt and getting bought out to the tune of a lot of dollars. That is good news for those site owners. I'm just wondering what one could do to create some sort of buzz or promotion to get some of the sites I'm familiar with to get some more recognition. I know that it can't be that difficult, it only takes one thing for everything to change. I'm just airing my thoughts for any comments that might cause a *spark* Thanks for listening! And any responses greatly appreciated.."

But on the other hand there are hot sites like Craiglist whom eBay bought 25% of that are worthy."

Heather said: "I checked that site out a little earlier tonight and I'm not sure what to say about it. What was the pricetag they fetched for it?"

AngelaCea said: "Yes but it is the hottest site on the internet as local classified type sites are taking marketshare from newspapers and local search is the hottest area in search. If you want to learn more of the transaction see: [url]http://vivisimo.com/search?v%3Asources=Web&query=eBay+buys+craigslist&x=45&y=16[/url] :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:"

edwin said: "i've been hearing this local search concept more and more. i might beed to cash in on it. i guess i could make a list of escort services in akron. people like bigtony would pay a lot for something like that :)"

Darksat said: "His first query. where can I find Edwin. :D"

edwin said: "ahhhh! not "rent boys", but "rent-gals". :)"

Heather said: "Then Edwin could really be a P I M P then. Find a need, fill a need.. From Robots. What a cute movie!"

AngelaCea said: "How a subject could go from the pinnacle of big business transactions back to the hood is beyond me. :confused: Only Edwin could accomplish such a task.....well, I guess that is what keeps the members coming back, not business research :p ;) :p"

Darksat said: "LOL, Cheeky. The conversation tends to get jacked a lot when he is around alright."
