Not blogging related but raising some interesting questions about the value of blogs and their content: The Guardian reports that Empire Poker, a Poker site that does nothing more than provide affiliate fronts for other poker sites, is currently subject to a bidding war in which the final price of the site will be will be in excess of 700 million pounds, approx $1.3 billion USD. Now that’s an affiliate site I’d like to own :-)
(via Threadwatch, who really got the headline wrong…)
Now that is just crazy money. You have to wonder how many people are behind Empire Online. Whoever it belongs you can believe that they are already million airs, and this payout will just be the cream on the top.
