Good domain name! I would think about clever ways of using blockchain technology to transparently validate news story validity. That's a difficult challenge though, so other than that I would think about actually getting good vloggers to do news pieces aka david pakman's style and maybe hook it up to the steem blockchain to get them rewarded. In other words, a Steem UI that specialises in news (which doesn't exist yet!).

Too many questions for me in your survey to answer currently, but Drudge report layout sucks & Daily mail is well known to be a propaganda and disinfo engine.

Thanks @ura-soul!

  • I got lucky when purchasing that domain back around '95 to do a web site for someone. They backed out about half way through and didn't pay up, so I kept it. With a proper web site to go with the name it should be worth a lot of money...
  • Maybe with a good outlet, investigative journalism could happen again. :D
  • Really lousy choice by Drudge to have this headline as the main one. SMH

Gotcha, ok. I just ran the name through a couple of domain name price estimators - they both came in around $6000 - though I have no idea how they calculated that. But yes, with a good website on it, it could be worth hundreds of thousands or millions. I've seen names sold for around that price that are not as desirable as your one.

I have a degree and something of a career in systems analysis/design/implementation/engineering and so I make websites from time to time - if you want any help or to discuss ideas then let me know at [email protected].

About 12 years ago, I had a guy from England offer $1 million, but he couldn't financed. ::shrug:: haha

I think it could be quite profitable for all involved.
The team that creates it and the end users...
