    Hello everyone,

    Just finished coding a nice little project I've been working on for a couple of months but need the money for Christmas so here we are :)

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce Yurbo.com - The easiest way to keep all your friends, family and colleagues updated!

    Basically, it's a simple micro blogging site like twitter.com but you can post as much as you like! It was designed so everyone could keep their friends updated with what they are doing, thinking about, etc.

    People signup, invite their friends via the invite utility and post blogs which keep their friends updated. If the people they invite register they are automatically friends with who invited them and visa versa.

    Once logged in you can view all your friends updates from your friends page.

    There is even a mobile blogging facility at yurbo.com/mob - Here you can post your blog from anywhere and read all your friends updates from your mobile phone, pda.

    You and your friends even have their own RSS feed so you can easily keep up to date on what your friends are doing from any RSS reader or application. You even get a RSS for your friends so 1 RSS feed keeps you updated on all your friends in your list.

    It's fast, simple, really easy to use and it works! I'm very passionate about this site so if it doesn't sell I'd be just as happy as if it did.

    Summary

    Fast, simple, easy to use.
    Nice design, ALL CSS.
    Includes mobile phone blogging!

    I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME AND ALSO END IF THE PRICE IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT!

    Starting bids at: $100
    BIN: TBA
    Ends: Tuesday, 11th November 2007 - 10pm GMT

    I will also include after sales support!

    Thanks for looking - as always, please post all bids and questions below.

    Please take a look around the site.

    No idea really - at least $1000+ I would say. It's a great little site which I've spent a lot of time on. Thanks for the question.

    Hi

    Nice site. What do you include in after sales support?

    If I for example want to find a friend's blog on the site, how do I do that? Can you post/PM traffic stats and BIN?

    For after sales support I can do quick modifications to brand new features - all depends on what you want or what new ideas you want for the site.

    For example, I could create a quick search feature to find friends blogs (good suggestion). Also considering the whole "ping blogsites" thing. Lots of new features to add if you want them. If it's more then simple then I'm sure we could arrange an agreement.

    As for stats I've only got raw server logs (as far as I know) for the past 24 hours. I'll see what I can find.

    As you can see, traffic going up nicely as still early November...

    Nice site. I'll start the bidding at $100.

    Which hosting provider is the site with, and what's your current monthly requirements as far as the hosting goes?

    Thanks!

    It's on my works host. I could arrange a small monthly charge with them if you don't want to move it but would be fine moving to another linux host (just php and mysql). The site is very optimised so very little resources are needed for this site. You wont have any trouble at all running on shared hosting.

    I have a few questions since I'm not getting a response via pm. I like what you have done with the web site. But the price at $1,000 is far above cost of what the site is valued at. It has no traffic, needs a serious facelift in design and more mods to even be able to come 1% of competing with twitter.com along with the rest of the other sites that are climbing on board such as the links below. I mentioned that I'm interested. But $1,000 is over priced. I know you have spent allot of time working on the site but then haven't we all on all our ventures. But if you want to chat and we can come to a more realistic price please add me to msn.

    Questions I have. What type of support are you willing to give and can you back this up using escrow to release the final payout once the support is completed.

    Are you willing to make a few more mods that would be more appealing to the end users and I have more questions of course. Below are some of the competitors not to mention I found a dozen more like them. It's hard finding that 1 in a million idea. The rest that follow pick up the crumbs. I'm not to proud to beg. I'll take the crumbs :) But get in touch before I'm broke. I just bought another site and sold a site. Now I'm looking for 1 more site that I can work on for a year.

    Good luck with the sell. If he comes through at $1,800 like you said then that's awesome !!! But I couldn't see me paying $800.00 or $1,800 just to much of a risk for a site that has no real traffic. But I do wish you the best. If not then touch base with me. If he does then let him know that I own a couple domain names that could help with traffic that are related to the web site.

    dragonflies,

    If you are not interested in the site then that's fine but don't post on here for all to see what we have discussed via private messages!!! Even when you said you wasn't interested for the price!!! What's the point?

    And why put my site down so much when you're clearly out of the deal? I've worked really hard on this and coded it 100% myself! Many hours of my time has been put into this project and wasn't intended for sale but finances prompt it!

    You really do come across as a really negative person who just likes to voice stupid opinions and try and ruin business taking place on such a great forum!

    Please leave this thread! Sorry about this everyone else.
