Aside from Google, if given the chance, which internet company would you like to own?

[Turkish]

Me, CNET 🙂

With CNET, I would also own the following:

download.com
mp3.com
search.com
tv.com
news.com

and many others :Q

The most amazing domain portfolio... so many opportunities.

What about you?

 

[40Hands]

Microsoft.com

if it had to be an online only business then amazon.com

 

[Phokus]

anandtech.com... so i could rule you all with an iron fist 😀

 

[ViviTheMage]

why not... ebay.com

 

[Turkish]

I guess I would also like icann.org, so I own all domain names 😀

 

[theprodigalrebel]

IGN/Gamespy

Then, I would whip Dave 'Fargo' Kosak back to his senses so he can give us more PlanetFargo goodness. And yeah, I would breathe life back into The Daily Victim.

P.S. Dave Kosak has one helluva amazing sense of humor. I used to e-mail him all kinds of crap and while he rarely replied, the few times he did was solid gold.

wikipedia.

 

[George P Burdell]

Yahoo, because they own Flickr, Del.icio.us, Upcoming.org and a bunch of other cool sites.

 

[Kev]

Yahoo, no question.

 

[AMDZen]

definetely ebay, that thing is a cash cow

 

[mrjminer]

Ebay. I'd shut it down. Fvcking piece of trash; people are retarded to keep using that scamfest.

 

[slpaulson]

Newegg would be a nice one to own.

Because honest people get intentionally screwed and have no recourse through using it and its daughter company (which I'd also own through owning Ebay) PayPal. Granted, the majority of the problem may be through PayPal, but it doesn't really matter because they both still encourage screwing people/businesses/copyrights/etc...

It seems you have answered a completely different question to the one actually asked... are you a politician?

How about MySpace before News Corp. bought them?

If that idiot Tom held onto his wad for a little longer, most industry experts estimate his website would have commanded $7-$10 billion (instead of the $580 million Murdoch paid in 2005).
