Hi Jaik,
welcome back aboard. Coldgin pretty much summed up what you missed.
Here's a little more detail.
Youtube sold out to Google for about $1.6 billion in shares!
.MOBI happened & you either love it or hate it. There are some who can't be focked. LOL
traffic auction happened. details below. (ripped from Monte's thread):
here are the final sales figures from the T.R.A.F.F.I.C Auction
Interesting reading. Lots didn't sell too. Either specific buyers not there or too high reserve.
Was fascinating listening to live. Be great to go one day!
