Honestly, what does someone buying Tr.im get? A tiny uptick in their market share of shortened links? There's certainly no technology involved, and there are no locked-in customers involved.
Further, it seems like most url-shortened links are real-time, and probably useless after a few months. I wonder how many shortened links are still visited months later. And given that shortening-service use is accelerating, what slice of the pie is the 2009 links from a smaller player in the market going to be worth in 2010?
Can someone explain to me how it's worth more than pocket money?
- sstrudeau 17y agoI'm sure the typo domain squatters could probably come up with a way to squeeze money out of the residual incoming traffic from links -- since tr.im links will continue to get some volume of traffic for a long while yet -- so the question is how much traffic, for how long, and how much of a CPM can you get? Do the math & you have a minimum valuation... But I hope to hell they're not evil enough to sell off to those scum. :)
- ZachPruckowski 17y agoTrue. I was basing this on their previous statement that they're not going to sell to typo-squatters or someone equally nefarious.
