Perhaps this is why to spite spending $164 million on a domain portfolio that became the core of its business, the word “domain” can’t be found anywhere on Marchex.com. Smart people.

John.Corrigan@latimes.com is the email addy of the Business Section Editor.
Rather than plaster the comments to the article, ream this guy for letting it print… the comments are good but cc them to this man. He is the one that should care. Demand a clarification.

Sour grapes. They are facing the consequences of letting the greatest media opportunity known to man pass them by. They never even saw it coming. Now they need someone to blame. For how could they accept responsibility for their own failure?

This guy at MWD must be confused as he seems to have it backwards. He even links to the DNN article that clearly explains the situation correctly, and lists Marc as a victim.

@MHB, what gives with MWD.com, I find this confusingly similar to MostWantedDomains.com, as he goes by “Most Wanted Domain”.

@ Anthony who said “There is nothing shady about Dan Pulcrano beating them to LosAngeles.com.”

Fantastic response, Anthony. Seriously thought provoking. I wish you would go over to the comments section at LA Times and post that. Not only does it point out their lack of foresight, but further illustrates that people with multiple domain holdings are capable of creating real businesses on their domain investments. Nothing “shady” about Pulcrano and Boulevards New Media.
