According to CNET.COM, Facebook.com is in deep negotiations to buy Face.com for $80 Million To $100 Million Dollars.
Now before any domainer gets too wound up lets just say right away that Face.com is not only a full developed sit, its a facial-recognition technology company.
“”The technology made a splash in 2009 when it released Photo Tagger, a free third-party application for Facebook that uses facial recognition technology to automatically tag photos of people, as well as a recognition-based alert service for Facebook. ”
“In 2010, Face.com released an open API to the public that allows third-party developers to incorporate the technology in their apps.”
GenericGene says
What A Great name Face.com Good Luck Guys –

What do you think the domain would be worth just on its own (non-developed)?
Michael H. Berkens says
Jim
Depends what was on the domain, if it just parked and especially if it had the “look of facebook” they would just file a UDRP on the domain
HNN says
Jim,
$2mm – $6mm
john smith says
So $1 billion for instagram and $100 million for an actual technology company? Does that seem right?
Anunt says
Facebook is going to be in acquisition mode with ALL that cash they raised thru IPO.
I own tons of Facebook shares at an average price of $33…will be buying more FB shares if it goes down any lower…FB will be okay in the long run…
Microsoft offered FB $15 Billion when they only had 100 Million members…now they have almost 10 times more members…so it’s gotta be worth something…
anyways, i wish them the best of luck in whatever they do.
Funding says
Perhaps the market is underestimating FB? Time will tell.
Robert Cline says
FB reminds me of that other jew that made off with $51Billion dollars named Made Off.
will see $8
at 100Billion it has nowhere else to go but down. The only ones that made off are the insiders selling into this bad hype.
Alan says
@Robert Cline
FB reminds me of that other jew that made off with $51Billion dollars named Made Off.
Why you are allowed to write on anyone’s blog is beyond me…………..keep your prejudices
out of a public forum. Remember, what you say can come back to bite you in the ass, for
example, would you ask someone their religion if they were buying one of your .co domains?
Robert Cline says
@Alan
I am f***ing stating the facts as they are.
not trying to be politically correct idiot.
you trying to be politically correct would want to cover up the truth.
Robert Cline says
The reason why jews have been persecuted historically are all these conniving money tricks they have up their sleeves.
I can tell you for a fact that these bankers at
Morgan stanley, Goldman Sachs are disproportionately Jews, like over 50%, when Jews makes up only 2% of the population.
The lead underwriter Morgan Stanley over inflated the FB ipo sucked in grandpa grandmas retirement fund so these f***ing jews could get rich.
These are the facts.
Know your facts folks.

Robert
You are aware that I’m Jewish
No?
Robert Cline says
@Michael
your question is quite revealing.
so are you saying maybe I should be more tactful, more pleasing to your senses, your ears.
Come on. Are we not lovers of truth. Do we not want to look in the mirror and be honest to ourselves.
The fact of the matter is these
Occupiers of Wall Street has some truth in them.
Jp says
wow
Cartoonz says
Robert Cline,
While your constant, overdone, and insipid rantings on how .co will take over the world are beyond lame already – you have outdone yourself this time and crossed well over the line into being just patently offensive.
Michael, please spare us from any further commentary whatsoever from this bigoted twit.
L says
@ Anunt
Microsoft’s interest in FB has nothing to do with their taking a cool, objective look at the business and buying it on value. MS is sitting on a mountain of dusty, molding cash and has been on a furious hunt for some kind of tech whale that will allow them to diversify their dying core business and keep the brand relevant.
Their browser has one foot on the grave the other on the banana peel, their OS took a body blow with increasing adoption of alternatives, they never really made it big in search (although the Bing story has yet to be fully written), they did OK in gaming but that isn’t as durable as they’d like and that whole market is one major ‘system-exclusive’ away from taking it up the ass.
They couldn’t deal on Yahoo (which was to their benefit), they tried to get wet in social media.
You see this kind of thing when G tries to buy Groupon, when MS tries to buy FB, we’ll probably start seeing it more and more with Apple- old tech stalwarts with a metric fuckload of cash trying to figure out how to diversity their income streams and remain relevant as things change.
I wouldn’t be taking my lead on FB shares because of what MS was trying to do.
Josh says
@Robert, of all you said this quote sticks out the most for me as most troubling.
“The reason why jews have been persecuted historically are all these conniving money tricks they have up their sleeves.”
In no way does a handful of individuals actions give the right to kill 10’s of millions of innocent people, not 90 years ago, not 2000 years ago. I seriously recommend you step back for a time and consider how hateful the thought is.
Josh
Robert Cline says
I fear a slow revolution is brewing
led by occupy wall street.
During the French revolution
the aristocrat the rich were beheaded for their sins.
What awaits the sins of made off, Morgan Stanley spinsters awaits to be seen.
The difference between a bigit and i is i only speak the facts.
The facts speak for themselves.
For everyone like myself that brave the barage there are 100s others that feel the same way.
Bill says
@cline
Did you know that Jews are also disproportionately represented in most forms of higher education.
Higher education has a direct correlation with income. Thus one can assume any race or religion would be as successful if they engrained the value of working hard and studies from an early age.
I won’t even ask if you’ve studied any place after high school cause I’m 95% certain of the answer.
Jp says
Dislike

Cline, you’re a kook.
Get rid of this shitbag.
Las Vegas Funding says
Not cool, Clobert.
jeff says
@cline,
your so clueless and so now this. not cool. go get a life and respect others. it dosent matter what race you are or religion.
hope every blogger realizes things and bans him on forums, domain blogs now.
you owe everyone an apology and what an insult.
Robert Cline says
@Bill
I appreciate the first crumble of reasoning.
I have nothing against those making use of their education for the good, making an honest hard earned living.
It is these wall street bankers like Made Off that really bothers me.
what is the difference between
a black man that gets 15 years in the federal penitentiary for attempting to rob $15 dollars at a local convenience store
and
a Morgan standley banker that steals $15,000,000,000.00 dollars from every mom and pop.
that right, this Morgan standley banker should be thrown in jail for 15 years x 1,000,000,000.00
checkmate.
Robert Cline says
the Jews have insulted themselves.
Let’s call it the way it is.
this is not by chance.
is it by chance that Jews make up 1/65 th the US population yet Made Off by chance was Jewish, is it by chance 80% of Morgan standley bankers are Jews paying themselves $10,000,000 bonuses left and right.
what’s got Robert Cline riled up tonight, well maybe its Veterans day and I am feeling like Robin Hood, I guess it’s these shanannagin activities that is conning usually old retired folks retirement trust funds.
FB is spending that money it illegally raised as quick as possible so there would be no way to return the money back to its rightful owners.
Just so that you know my first love in college was a Jewish girl. Many of my college friends where Jewish. Just a disclaimer.
Brad says
There are many big companies and people that should be held accountable for screwing people over.
However, I fail to see what this has to do with being Jewish.
Brad
Brad says
@ Robert
“Just so that you know my first love in college was a Jewish girl. Many of my college friends where Jewish. Just a disclaimer.”
This is like saying you have a black friend after saying something extremely racist.
Isn’t it about time Robert Clown is banned?
There is no value added, and now his posts are insulting.
Brad
Robert Cline says
@Brad
is it racist to say most NBA players are black.
is it racist to say it seems most shannanigan of late has implicated mainly if not solely Jews.
and the common average american, many represented by Occupy Wall Streeters are the ones getting screwed over.
just saying
stating facts is stating facts.
must I be so f***ing blind to say
oh I see only colorless NBA players, oh I do not see black, oh I see only humans.
Brad says
“The reason why jews have been persecuted historically are all these conniving money tricks they have up their sleeves.”
“is it racist to say it seems most shannanigan of late has implicated mainly if not solely Jews.”
Is that racist? I think it is.
Facts are objective. Your “facts” are subjective and offensive.
Brad
Robert Cline says
well Brad,
I guess we all have our constitutional rights to our own thoughts.
I didn’t know facts could be both subjective and offensive.
so saying most NBA players are black presses on your sensibilities and you are hurt and taken offense by these facts
and therefore these facts are subjective and offensive to you.
Brad says
Apples and Oranges Mr. Cline.
Saying that the majority of NBA players are black is something that can be quantified with actual data.
This statement is not a fact, it is just offensive –
āThe reason why jews have been persecuted historically are all these conniving money tricks they have up their sleeves.ā

Convenience store robbers don’t go to Federal prison, they go to state prison.
Robert Cline says
@Brad
āThe reason why jews have been persecuted historically are all these conniving money tricks they have up their sleeves.ā
this is not my saying.
this is from many many historical accounts from many many historians saying this. I am merely paraphrasing what historians have written in school history text books.
so Braddy
do not blame me for what historians teach us.
here is just one of the quotes
“Mostly, the religious orthodox Jews are guilty of this and many other human rights abuses. They finance the smuggle of illegal aliens into many countries and treat them like dirt! They own 75% of the worldās largest banksā¦..all based upon fraud and usury! This is an abomination to God in the Christian religion.”
I can find more if you like.
Abdu says
What the heck does this post have to do with Jews? Would someone please show RC the door.
Start-Up Funding says
Mr. Cline,
The U.S. taxpayers shouldn’t bail out ANY bankers, regardless of their religion. Why are you focusing on only Jewish bankers?
Alan says
Robert Cline, it’s time to unplug your computer and go outside for some fresh air.
Donny says
This is why video blogs will be the future. People posting with no accountability.
These type of comments ruin a person’s blog. Post something pertaining to the main topic.
If I want to hear some of you guys or gals talk about religions, race or taxes then go to someone else’s blog and talk about that subject. I like to learn and pick up new tips from fellow domineers not with BIG LLLL who have nothing else to do but whine.
Donny

jarni says
its Madoff b.t.w
and his story is like Rick Schwartz adult business days and to some extent mainstream domains
get people in to exclusive groups, ask no questions or risk getting outed,
rip off each person and no one talks until it explodes (and rw got away with his style
personally i dont really care what race someone is, but jews have a way of doing things more often than other groups
jarni says
made off is pretty funny
except he got caught
imagine trying to buy a domain off rw, i mean he will extort
your last cent out of you or he wont sell it/ooops thats just good business
true its just business, but again, a person with a jewish way fo doing things, and no
one has to get offended by what im saying, just read history

Great, if anyone want to offer some millions for SearchFace dot com let me know š
BrianWick says
Attempting to buy Face.com vs. trying to take it away in UDRP or ACPA says a lot about registered FACE and BOOK TM’s as well as countless common law FACE and BOOK TMs – that is the only message here. – everything lese here is pure frustration.

@BrianWick hmm telling
^^^^ SuperDomainNames on Facebook ^^^^ also FaceAnswers.com is good for a FB version of the $400M Quora says
also at “only” $50M it may become the record priced domain of all times
SinceyourrealnameisnotRobertCline says
Since your name is James Kim, I wonder how it would be if someone hear disparaged all Asians ?
John Berryhill says
Mike, it’s well past time to do something about the quality of comments here.
Rick Schwartz says
The reason why Mr. Cline is an anti-semite is something I discovered many years back.
See “Cline” could be considered a Jewish last name.
Therefore people that have a possible Jewish sounding last name go through life with people asking them if they are Jewish. That offends them and brings the hatred to the surface.
I have seen this many times in my life.
Started in 8th Grade. Kathy Lee Gifford was in my 8th grade class. But back then her last name was Epstein.
She was not brought up Jewish but had a Jewish last name and I can tell you she did not like it one bit! I just never understood it at the time.
Jews are successful because they have Jewish mothers. lol They are ball busters and if you don’t want to get your balls busted you do good. I think it is called FEAR and it works!
owen frager says
But he’s Korean and of this morning on the boycot list
He’s also a crook and I will expose
Rick Schwartz says
Owen, exactly my point.
If you get an email from “Robert Cline” you are going to tell me you assume he is Asian? š
reeha@inkjet says
according to me Facebook.com are offering very huge money to them however have to check its PR and backlinks also. Price is a bit high in my opinion.
Owen says
See fragerfactor.com for cline exposƩ
Facebook like yahoo is playing with other peoples
Money now and all acquisitions will just end up saving taxes by doing nothing but suck expenses
Rick Schwartz says
Should have used the word “some” in my original post.
But just my personal first hand experience.
domainer says
face.com is worth lot more than instagram due to the technology that is more complex there. see no reason why face.com should not trade in the same ballpark for Zuckerberg
Johnny Ratcliffe says
I can imagine FB using this tech easily. Imagine all the “you’ve been tagged in” emails reminding those who forgot about Facebook months back to log back in.
Dave Zan says
Second that, and get rid of that spam comment by reeha@inkjet!
Michael H. Berkens says
Dave/John
So the reeha@inkjet comment was sent to spam within 5 minutes of it being posted
We also blocked Mr. Kline’s IP address last night.

Unbelievable.
Give a man enough rope and he eventually hands himself.
Congratulations to Robert Cline of exposing himself as an absolute and utter ignoramus.
Psst….Robert…..jewish guys are not buying .co
You want to be a leader? Afraid you’ll need to follow the leaders.

“Now before any domainer gets too wound up lets just say right away that Face.com is not only a full developed sit, its a facial-recognition technology company.”
Its not surprising they are buying this company, Facebook funded by the Bilderbergs, the CIA, NSA and facial recognition plus data mining on an epic scale sounds like a match made in Hell.
Doesn’t anybody wonder why the DHS/TSA just ordered 450,000,000 (450 MILLION) rounds of ILLEGAL hollow point bullets and 175,000,000(175 MILLION) rounds of .223 NATO rifle ammo for “domestic use” when there are only 311 million people in America ?.

I didn’t know that. All those family photos of you, Judi, and Bandit in x-mas sweaters had me fooled . . . It doesn’t mean anything. I know. Ask my cousin – he’s the first to complain when the neighbors don’t decorate their homes at x-mas time!

UnknownDomainer says
@Owen
So Mr Kim is associated with a Spokane militia group. This is somehow going to interfere with his ability to own .CO domains?
.CO is Colombia. The Govt of Colombia has had a habit in the past of turning a blind eye to the Irish Republican Army trading tactics for dope. I’m not sure that a little group in Spokane is going to cause them much concern.
But I’d be interested to read more than one paragraph of nonsense if you’re going to suggest I go over to your little blog.
Ms Domainer says

Michael,
In a sense, your blog is an extension of your living room. You have graciously allowed us, mostly strangers, into your private space.
Sometimes, we have not always behaved as we should have (probably me included), but you have been very tolerant and have not (AFAIK) censored anyone.
But I don’t think most of us would object if you ejected crazy cline; his comments are way past entertaining and border on hate speech.
MHO.

Michael H. Berkens says
Ms. Domainer
Thanks for the kind words.
We have blocked Mr. Cline.
Jp says
It’s not censorship
1. Blocking spam isn’t censorship.
2. In what public forum is a screaming madman allowed to participate? Just because it’s the internet and we can’t hear him scream doesn’t change the fact. I imagine that even in a KKK meeting there has to be some sort of order and if you can’t follow the rules then I’m sure you are asked to leave.
wolfflow says
A rumor says that the company face.com hijacked a super efficient algorithm to a French Company for the signature of a face and easily implementable on mobile. Problem problem
