[QUOTE="AmritaB, post: 2378485, member: 322983870"] You're right, I had assumed some were owned because the staff told me they're basically the same people, but what is more accurate is that Trelian, owning Above shares it's internal databases, which extend into Bodis, etc., there are diffferent company groups but using the same closed database between them. The way the person kind of quietly explained it to me was that they were basically one company. When I see a company move to only offer Cash Parking, trample the user interface in a particular way, or auto-list to Afternic then to me it is another Godaddy acquisition... they have a very particular development style and design quirks that I recognize after seeing a few companies go through it now that I was using. Really the end result of operating off of this shared database or office, I don't know the details so much or care to how it is technically implemented, only that in my experience when Godaddy has bought or more quietly partnered with these companies the performance went down the drain. Again I don't know the exact infrastructure but there is some mechanism in which parking a domain with some particular parking service or brokerage will immediately preclude it from showing up on the MLS sites, so there is some bleed-over to broker performance and status from the parking operation, so in a way they can behave like de facto subsidaries of one another. Of course it is all secretive regarding how it actually works but I did years of testingi and found certain things to be reliablly connected and reliably shown to be on the same subsystem. [/QUOTE]
