Friday: 2 days to go, and things are getting HOT!!!
Posted on | December 4, 2009 | No Comments
Apologies for the radio silence. We’re all back in our normal (non-24hr) day jobs, and trying to keep up with this while cracking briefs for our clients!
Anyway, there’s 2 days left on our eBay auction and we just*had* to blog about developments.
Bidding war:
- We got to the office this morning and bidding had doubled overnight - a jump from $660 to $1275! Speculation here is rife that we may be able to each buy ourselves a nice dinner with the proceeds…
- We have since updated the eBay auction page, with more details about what the purchaser gets too. It’s loads of stuff! The DrHue domain names, code base, blog, brand assets, marketing IP, Facebook page, Twitter account (now over 600 followers! With built-in profile pic scanning auto follow reply direct message thingy!) AND IP rights to use all the content on 24hour-startup.com and a 1 day handover session with our 3 top guys!!!!
- We’ve also answered a couple of important questions on the eBay auction that may be relevant to other bidders. (One was about whether we’re up for working with the buyer, and another was about how many sales DrHue has made…)
Hype:
- The press are sniffing around. As well as coverage on the Business Zone site, and Planet Anarky blog, Richard Tyler from The Telegraph has been in touch. So, hopefully that’ll mean DrHue.com will get on their website, and maybe into the Sunday Telegraph itself. In fact, just as I started writing this, they sent a photographer - really nice guy called Eddie Mulholland, pictured here with our hero, Dr Hue!
We have a tech spec:
It’s a tad overdue, but we now have a pretty detailed technical description of what DrHue.com does, and what improvements would need to be made by our buyer.
The site is getting EVEN better:
In response to some feedback we’ve had, Rich couldn’t resist playing with the code. So, I’m told that in about an hour, we can expect to see an extra 6,000 products LIVE on DrHue.com (thanks Tesco!), and improved category functionality AND, EVEN BETTER a category management system back-end for the new owner to use. Phew!!!
…AND Will Savage is working on a MPU banner ad he got 90% finished in the time… I’ll update with that later!
