blo.gs for sale
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.

[...] who knew that Yahoo! had bought out Blo.gs? The hat-tip goes to Darren Rowse for the tip-off that Blo.gs was for sale. The Problogger also mentioned it was a “renovator’s” project, and I disagree [...]
