Kudos to Jeremy and Dillsmack on getting Auction Ads up and running and now doing the deal.

I know at that time they were working long and hard at it, esp around the time of ASW.

It'd be interesting to see what the acquisition price was...

And going by the tech crunch report, it'd seem logical after acquiring Patrick's TLA, the next property would be Auction Ads.

Do remember that MyBlogLog was acquired by Yahoo! after less than a year of launch and for $10m. so it's like the 2000 dotcom era again, though the businesses are grounded in more solid biz models this time round.

PS: I think the lesson here is focus, focus, and focus...

I know guys who've developed and launched and made 6 figure incomes from IM-optimized WordPress plugins.

So the field is totally open for some hotshot to go out there, do one killer idea that creates value for the community and be amply rewarded for his or her efforts.
