Blog To Flip
Well, I guess I haven’t been paying much attention to this end of the blogging business, but it seems there’s a growing trend of Blog to Flip going on. The premise is simple: start a blog, generate some content (and maybe revenue), then sell it off to the highest bidder. Hmm. I don’t know.

Considering my post yesterday on the Third Voice, this is something worth mentioning. I don’t personally think I would recommend this route to all but the rarest of clients. In a lot of ways, the notion of buying a blog brings back memories from philosophy class about the mind and soul - can one exist without the other? Does one live once the body dies? As somone who’s blogged for some time now, I can’t imagine this site being of much use or value without me here anymore - certainly, I don’t think it would be the same thing.
