flickrSLiDR Has a New Owner

Jul 24, 2007 in , , ,

As an update to my flickrSLiDR slideshow tool post, I’d like to announce that I have sold flickrSLiDR. It is now owned by a guy in Sweden who bought it from me for a cool $3,000. Not bad for a weekend project if I may say so myself. As part of the deal, the flickrSLiDR graphic will appear in my sidebar for the next 3 months. If you have any flickrSLiDR-related questions, please direct them to AdMarket.

Now I can focus on creating simple web apps and services. At the moment, Mike Malone and I are working on a WordPress plugin that many of you will have a use for, especially if you are often overcharged by your web host for using too many server resources and bandwidth.

  1. Congratulations Paul,

    I know this must be a great accomplishment! I look forward to seeing more cool projects!

  2. @Stan - I was planning on not selling it currently, just wanted to get a sense for the demand, and then add more features, but I was tired of working on the same project and wanted to begin developing some other ideas that have been floating around in my head as of recently.

  3. I beat that this Wordpress plugin it’s related with hosting media files in Amazon S3… No? ;)

  4. @Carlos - I have been wishing for a plugin that does this for Textpattern for a while. I think it’s a great idea. The mods at Textpattern just told me I should upgrade my web service. Sure that’s what I will have to do if no one makes a plugin that does what I want. The whole point is to create something anyone can use with a really basic web plan, and have Amazon charge you for what you actually use.

  8. Wow, $3000 for a site that hasn’t made a penny. Nicely done.

  9. Congrats that is amazing! Any idea why the guy wanted the site and what his plans are for profitability?

  10. Haha, nice, congratulations.

  11. Paul, nice score on the sale but depending on what they end up doing with it you might have sold it on the cheap but time will tell. I’m assuming they called you to get the deal rolling?

  12. congrats paul! this is wonderful!
