I see on Dave Winer’s blog that he has confirmed the rumour that he sold Weblogs.com to Versign – he neglected to say how much for! The rumour mill is putting a figure of ~$5m on it.
Couple that with the news that AOL are buying Weblobsinc.com for somewhere between $25-$40m, and the news of Nick Denton of Gawker Media’s deal with VNU and I’m starting to think, hey maybe there’s money in them thar blogs after all!
It feels like early 2000 all over again, or on the other hand, as BL says
for a couple million, I’d sell this blog. Serious inquiries only.
€2.3M

Not a bad price. Should keep Dave in laptops for another few years.
