    HI Larry,

    Great Blog I’ve been lurking for a while, loved the 5 part series. One question, you mentioned that you believed it was worth much more. So what amount do you peg the actually value? And how are you coming up with that value? Multiplier of rev solely or tangential? Just curious, thanks for the time and keep up the kick butt insight.

    Cheers

    Brady

    Hi Larry,
    I just wandered over to your blog from Domaining.com (far from my first visit) to read your post about hypothetically receiving a hefty offer for ChatRoulette. I decided recently that I’d like to start my own blog and I absolutely love your theme. Would you mind posting the name of the theme below my comment or sending it to me? I’d really appreciate it. Keep up the great work on Direct Navigation! The way I see it, your selectivity in what you choose to write about makes your blog far more interesting than the standard Domaining.com blog.

    Thanks,
    Luke

  • Hi Larry,
    You’ve got a great blog here, keep up the good work.

    I realize you’re more of a high profile .com investor, but if you’re interested in getting a really good deal on .CO domains, I am letting my portfolio go below the value registration.

    Check it out at http://www.domainnamesales.co or contact me directly.
