Monday: 7 days to find a buyer!
Posted on | November 30, 2009 | 2 Comments
This is the first in a series of posts that are going to countdown to DrHue.com’s eventual sale on eBay. (For the uninitiated, DrHue.com is the product of 24hour-startup.com a rather crazy project to conceive, design and build a web-based business in 24 hours.) The auction is set to end at 11.01 AM GMT on Sunday December 6th. Get bidding!

So, 6 more days to go… and what will the final figure be? And more importantly, WHO is going to buy DrHue.com?
The dust has settled and the team have all had the sleepiest weekend of their lives. So, it was nice to come back into the office and see that a lot of people have been talking about us over the weekend.
Thanks to everyone who has written about us, and tweeted about us. We’re all really pleased you liked what we did – it makes the weird sleep patterns this week all worth while! In particular…
- Thanks to Neil Cocker for repeatedly blogging our progress. I know Dave, being a fellow leek-lover, was chuffed we’d hit the big time in Wales!
- We were also particularly pleased with a comment on Web Host Chat – The UK hosting forum. Ed-Freethought described 24hour-startup.com as “A somewhat crazy idea driven my a bunch of marketing men with nothing better to do by the looks of it!”. For the record Ed, the geeks amongst us would like to point out they’re not marketing men, and the marketing men amongst us would like to point out that this has turned out to be quite a good bit of marketing!
- Also, over on Twitter, it was nice to see that someone at our (new) favourite printer manufacture – Brother – was loving Dr Hue!

Dr Hue’s blogger competition is also bearing nicely coloured fruit too, with people all over the place telling Dr Hue about their favourite colours in a bid to be sent a lovely wee prize.
So pretty!
Some of Nick’s favourite entries so far:

We’ve been looking at the numbers, so here’s some stats!
- 24hour-startup.com has been seen in 62 countries and has had nearly 5,000 visitors in just a few days.
- DrHue.com has been viewed in 39 countries already!
- The most popular colour search on DrHue.com is purple.

All of which has resulted in…
The eBay auction reaching $600 USD by end of play Monday!
