Seems like truemors site isn't working. But 5 to 10 employees? You gotta be kidding me. This is probably a deal for them to get Kawasaki on their board to be able to get venture capital.<p>"Hey guys buy my crappy start up for 10-20 grand, so I can get back my investment of $12,000 that I paid to register those 500 domains, and I'll join your board so you can tell VCs you have the great Kawasaki on your board and get money!"

Guy Kawasaki's biography should be titled "Falling Ass-Backwards Into Money."

I think the most interesting thing is the huge press push around such a tiny acquisition. If nothing else Kawasaki is really good at getting publicity for really mediocre sites

"remember truemors?" "no"<p>none the less - quick turnaround and maybe a 2-3x return for Guy and crew, not bad at all.
