Successful German blog Basicthinking.de sold on eBay
January 20th, 2009Posted by Alexander de Vivie in Social media and blogging
Basicthinking.de, one of the most-visited German blogs discussing IT and hardware topics, was sold on eBay last week for nearly €47,000, Medienlese has reported.
Robert Basic, IT expert, owner and only author of the popular forum, said in a post that he had put the blog on eBay, because it was ‘time for a change and to build up something new’. At time of writing, Basic’s last entry had received 444 comments.
Some critics accused Basic of linkbaiting, suggesting that he would not go through with the sale of the blog.
He will continue to write for multi-language blog buzzriders, but not basicthinking. The blog is now in the hands of serverloft, a German server company.
