Archive for the ‘ViSalus’ tag
Vi.com purchased for USD $325,000. Online competition for Office 365, gOffice, Zoho, ThinkFree and Google Docs?
vi.com webpage as of February 13 2012
I read with interest on Techcrunch this morning that the two character domain name vi.com was just sold for USD $325,000.
I jumped as I wondered if vi.com was the latest entrant into the online document editor business.
Vi, short for visual editor, is the default editor in the UNIX operating system.
UNIX and its descendants like Linux power much of the Internet.
Sadly, Vi the editor will not soon be visualized at vi.com.
Instead, on July 14, 2012, the pricey vi.com domain will be used by ViSalus help people visualize how they can lose weight.
So Vi is simply short for ViSalus.
According their website, the firm ‘ViSalus is the No. 1 weight loss & fitness Challenge platform in North America—rewarding those with the best 90-day transformations over $25 MILLION each year in free products, prizes, and vacations.’
In a way ViSalus is to weight loss what SaveUp is to fiscal fitness.
