Anyone know which Directory they are referring to ?

 

No idea

But I think it's an Yellow pages directory

 

Was it business.com that was sold for a price in the high millions?

 

I think so.

Was there any other directory sold for such a high price?

 

infospace.com - yellow pages. where there's a will there's a way!

 

Maybe this one its says infospace on the footer

http://www.Switchboard.com/

 

I believe that dogpile search is also owned by them

thx

I think it's bussiness.com

 

I have been searching the SE's but still not sure which is the directory

 

I think that it is switchboard.com, I think that it cam make that much with the huge database that it has.

 

I sold www.DirectoryDump.com

just kidding!

 

Phew ....Just had to recheck on the whois ,
why are you floating rumors Rob!

Even im thinking of launching project, still on the drawing board/ my mind A mobile site!

mobile and social are the rocking things right now!

heard of "OpenSocial" by google?

 

IMO-- its business.com. But I also saw their revenue was in the tune of $15 millions.

 

Thought it was Switchboard that sold for 225 Million

 

The sale of switchboard and other local business directory assets for 225 million was to Idearc the parent company of Verizon and Superpages.com

 

Yes, he paid below the market value

 

Well I can tell u this much it wasn't business.com, they sold at like $360 mil.

(I wonder if they advertised it at the sitepoint marketplace )

Maybe switchboard.

If u go to hoovers or dunn & bradstreet and see what assets infospace has, u can probably narrow it down.

 

Thanks stoner3221 here is the link confirming the above
