While the purchase price of the domain name Tweetup.com remains unknown, IdeaLab recently purchased PostUp.com for $14,900 on Sedo. IdeaLab which launched Tweetup.com in April as the “Adsense for Twitter” looks to have more plans in the works.
If the Tweetup.com model has been very successful, Idealab might be embracing the same concept with blogs – where the term “post” commonly refers to the text written on a weblog.
Plans have not been revealed by Idealab as to what’s in store for PostUp.com, but as the story on Fusible.com was the first to uncover the sale of Tweetup.com before any other news site (including TechCrunch), the purchase of PostUp.com leads to only one likely conclusion: that Idealab will implement a similar model as Tweetup.com, only for bloggers.
About the Domain PostUp.com
PostUp.com is currently a parked website, but the registrant record points to Idealab who took ownership of the name on May 11, 2010.
Now with the acquisition of the domain name, will Idealab acquire @PostUp, the same way they acquired @Tweetup?
