A bit of an update on this thread.

I was on one of the domain selling sites this morning, and what did I come across? Four of Standard Internet's primary domains are up for sale.

Now, I am sure we will hear the whole song and dance that the sites are for sale as they are moving on to bigger and better things. But, I myself would hazard a guess that the timing of the announcement by Commission Junction and the growing intolerence of the entire advertising industry for companies like Standard Internet that thrive on ad-supported software, would be more then of trivial significance to the sale.

Also, I find interesting in the sales thread that the poster, possibly this 12Clicks character, makes mention that they already have an offer of 25 thousand for one of the domains. $25,000...that's it?!? If this company was worth a smidgen of what 12Clicks boasts he is worth, then mentioning an offer for only $25,000 would serve little purpose other then to devalue the assets.

Okay, that's enough of my rant. The point is, looks like a nasty little part of the sleazy end of the internet business world has taken a hit, and I am once again doing a dance of joy.
