  • Don't forget about "Where I've Been"... $3 million (!!)
  • The buyers of Where I've Been denied that it was purchased for $3m. It was just an unfounded blog rumour.

    Someone bought that POS for $20K and what, go look, they have done nothing, in months, to it?
  • and why stop with apps, I'd love to unload my Fan Page (141 "fans" and growing) on some sucker(whoops, I mean 'investor').
  • It's not the economy, it's the profit and ROI that important..
