    started from nothing.... except $32 million in venture capital.

    Bought out by their competition.

    Man, it'll take a lot of Junior Mints to recoup that investment.

    Somebody must have a sweet tooth...

    Actually, that article is a pretty good read. A great study on what it takes to be successful. Kudos to him.

      Hi LMC,

      I didn't realize they received that much funding. The article I read (and later linked to) only mention an amount in the neighborhood of 800,000 but after doing some basic research I see what you're talking about.

      I wish I had registered more domain names way back when...

      I just got an offer earlier this week for one of my domain names. $300. I think someone offered me $25 or so a couple years ago for the same domain. So, it was an improvement over that, but still...

      I bet he's smiling. Makes us want to hold onto those little sites, build them up even more and then flip them for much bigger profits later down the road.

      3.2 million, a nice chunk of change there.
