Active Rain vs. Move.com…Ok, Enough Already! Athol Kay And Jonathan Dalton Step In To Lighten Us All Up A Bit

Kevin Boer, Broker Owner, 3 Oceans Real Estate, Inc. ()

September 29th, 2007 · 3 Comments

The re.net’s very own sock puppet steps in with his own inimitable brand of humo(u)r* and tells us what would have happened had Move.com had consummated the purchase of Active Rain.

Jonathan Dalton, meanwhile, is looking for a buyer for his blog. Rumo(u)r* has it he may thrown in some Captain Morgan as well.

* Extra (u)’s included for the benefit of Athol Kay, Joel Burslem, and the other remnants of the ex-British Empire amongst us.

Darn it! I’m trying to corner the Canadian market and then you go and try to seduce them with your spelling!

Don’t even try, Jonathan. Depending on how you calculate, I’m anywhere from 2.5% to 33% Canadian.
