- fourlittlebees 18y agoOMG! Someone found the ??? between launch site and profit! MAKE TECHCRUNCH! You don't even need to have a business model anymore. 1. Launch site. 2. Make TechCrunch 3. PROFIT!!!! Sheer genius. And to think, all these years we were wondering.
- swombat 18y agoI launched JustHackIt.com last night. I'm really enjoying managing the site but didn't expect the huge amount of traffic and don't quite know how to manage a community site like this. FAIL!! How lame.
- sysop073 18y agoHe launched the site last night and has tons of traffic -- that's the opposite of fail. Fail is "I launched JustHackIt.com six years ago. I'm really enjoying managing the site but didn't expect to have no hits ever and I'm tired of it."
- swombat 18y ago"I launched the site yesterday. Please pay $20 for it" = fail
- marketer 18y agoManaging a community is harder than people imagine. I think a lot of people dream about making sites like this, but they quickly find the complexity isn't technical, but social, and they find it daunting and bail.
- KevBurnsJr 18y agoAgree. Community requires cultivation.
- 13ren 18y agoNow that's built-to-flip. It hope he has a liquidity event, validating the accelerating pace of business development and shortening of the product life-cycle of today. And when I say "today", I mean of one actual day. Seriously, it would be awesome if he made out with some cash from this idea. What he's offering is: a cool name, a cool idea (a validated-to-some-extent idea), an implementation, a (nascent) network effect, and publicity in the relevant community. Of course it seems ridiculous because it is only a day's worth. But that's no real argument against it; it may be an argument against the sale price being very high, but it's no argument against it being worth something. There is however one very limiting argument against it - the ease of duplication: If you believed this was a great opportunity, how much would it cost you to catch up? Almost nothing, and you might prefer to start fresh anyway. If it had been going for 3 months, and had 3 months worth of brand recognition, network effect and improvement of implementation, that would be worth something. I don't know how much, but it would take 3 months (approx) to duplicate. And if you didn't buy it, you might never catch up - so not just a few month's worth, but some proportion of a life-time's worth.

- 13ren 18y agoA competitor has already entered this space, validating it! Though the similarity of likely gives rise to a case of passing off, or statutory misleading and deceptive conduct (not an infringement of a registered trademark as I doubt one has been registered - he should have protected his IP...)
- breck 18y agoI like your colors better. The competition has already surpassed me, damn!
- MisterMerkin 18y agoThanks. I'll be using this one from now on. I can't believe the founder sold out. Gotta keep things real, G.
- icey 18y agoI know breck is active here... But if this doesn't signify a bubble^H^H^H^H^H^H irrational exuberance, I don't know what does.
- maxklein 18y agoHeh, now that's an innovative way to drive even more traffic to the site. 13ren, I know you are feeling overwhelmed right now, but the right thing to do is to see this as an even greater traffic source, and revel in the traffic. Don't be afraid or feel like you are unpopular, instead, RIDE THE WAVE. The internet has a very short memory, it's like an ADD kid on crack. These are your 15 minutes, and this is the second wave. Now figure out how to make a 3rd wave, and you will get the number of users your site needs to break through and enter the upwards curve.
- rms 18y agoWhat's the reserve?
- babul 18y agoRegardless of the reasons/ethics for selling, it is still good entrepreneurship if you can turn around your efforts for profit in one day. Much of entrepreneurism is about grabbing opportunity.
- mstefff 18y agowhat i want to know is why techcrunch would cover such a stupid website - and I can't even get them to respond to my emails. never understood them.
