Back then there was a lot of easy money in domain names if you knew what you were doing. Also benefited from some questionable tactics I would never use now that I know better / have a real reputation to protect. IE typos, bulk-siftin

I think that you have two decent options: 1) Have a friend send an e-mail asking if it's for sale. If they respond with a reasonable price, buy it. 2) Assuming the owner/squatter is remotely intelligent, they'll do their dil

I purchased Texts.com while in high school (~10 years ago) for ~$15k. I had made a fair amount of money flipping domain names on sites like Namepros / DNForum / a few private forums. A mix of "tulip" LLL.com's, an

That area in Meatpacking / Chelsea is home to an increasing number of established brands. You have YouTube and MLB.tv in Chelsea Market; Google across the street; IAC on 18th; and then BetaWorks a few blocks south.

It shouldn't matter one bit. They're legally obligated to take you anywhere in the five boroughs. Just get in before telling them your destination. If they give you flak (and you feel like fighting them), just take note of their

That's an interesting twist on it; "unlocking" (unblocking) the pixel one at a time. Almost like a perverted Million Dollar Homepage of yesteryear.

I think that BuzzFeed's quality will drastically improve in time. To me, they're building a platform for journalism/media. They might be in the nascent stage where LinkBait is a dominant strategy, but I'd bet that hig
