Fools of April!

It has come to my attention that it apparently isn’t as far-fetched as I thought that automaticable could be sold for a ridiculous amount of money. Just to clear things up – automaticable is going nowhere. And if this post is news to you: APRIL FOOLS!

The new automaticable - AutomatiCable!

It was the professional looking logo that got you, huh?

automaticable to become AutomatiCable!

Tag: economics,sadKyle Wegner @ 9:46 am

The new automaticable - AutomatiCable!We know it has been a while since we’ve posted, but we’ve had good reason – for the past 4 months we have been working out a deal to sell automaticable to the most appropriate business. While we have spent the last 2 years providing valuable content about Linux, SEO, politics and Mickey Mouse, we had an end-game in mind the whole time: create a valuable domain that can eventually be sold.

Originally Scott explained that he came up with the name automaticable by randomly pulling words from Google and putting them together. Obviously that wasn’t the case – we’ve had the business AutomatiCable (and, actually, AutoMatI-cable) in mind since the beginning. Since then we’ve sat down with them on a regular basis to talk business, and finally we’ve come to a deal. While we can’t go into anything specific, know that your patronage has netted us a number that includes a lot of zeros which we can’t thank you for enough. Without your help we would not have the traffic to justify such an amazing purchase price.

The transition will come over the next few weeks, which at that point you can expect www.AutomatiCable.com to be your #1 place for all-in-one cables!
