Wanna Buy a Search Engine?:
"Posted by Jennifer October 18, 2005
Not long after being dubbed the 'best meta search engine' by Search Engine Watch, the owners have decided to put it up for sale on eBay. The owners put the site up with a starting bid of a penny and no reserve and bidding has been active. The sale includes everything from the graphic files and software code to the legal rights to full use of the brand name and URL. No physical assets are included.
From the eBay listing:
Why are we selling? We started jux2 in our spare time as a research tool to answer questions we had about search. jux2 succeeded both as a research tool (generating thousands of searches per day and providing rich data that answered our questions) and with the search cognoscenti. We felt honored to receive critical acclaim and favorable reviews from many power searchers. To do justice to the opportunity ahead of jux2 would take more time than any of us has right now. So, we’re hoping this auction will put jux2 into the hands of someone who can take it to the next level.
As of this blog post, bidding is at $6,605.00 with a little over eight days to go. Search Engine Watch moderator and Spanish SEM extraordinaire Nacho Hernandez is currently in the lead... If you ever wanted to own your very own search engine, here's your chance. Right now it will cost you less than most used cars."
