Seven hours after we put WhosTalkin.com up for public auction on Flippa.com yesterday, a private party (that originally expressed interest around 6 months ago) made an offer via email. After validating the authenticity of the offer I decided to pull the auction off Flippa.com and move forward with a private sale.

I want to thank all of you that contributed to WhosTalkin’s success and development, and invite you to continue enjoying WhosTalkin under new ownership.

Stay tuned for our next big project!

What?

We have put WhosTalkin.com up for public auction at flippa.com Here is the auction page.

Who?

You! We have set the minimum bid embarrassingly low so that anyone can have a chance. Yes, we do have a reserve price, but that’s just to protect our investment if someone tries something squirrely.

Why?

Over 2 years ago I launched WhosTalkin to the general public. Initially we were covered by many of the popular social media journals and blogs. In the first several months I did conference calls and bid request with some of the biggest brands in the world including Warner Brothers and the BBC. The whole time people kept asking about an “enterprise solution”. So we build one, got a handful of beta testers together, and started testing our creation. That beta test taught me that building amazing technology is easy when you aren’t required to scale for human beings. Customers and clients require a heighten level of attention that I wasn’t prepared for. So I made the decision to scrape the dashboard all together.

Since then we have put WhosTalkin on the back burner, utilizing it mostly for publicity while we grew into other things. Now we are at a point where our other projects are demanding our full attention and we are unable to put time and money into things that we aren’t leveraging to the fullest.

When?

The auction is running until 6/02/11 So get in and place your bid today!
