Chilean Tech Trends

I am in Chile, visiting some business partners while I visit my dad who is undergoing some Chemo treatment.

I have had the opportunity to meet with some very smart Chilean executives and they have shared some interest insights on doing business in Chile.

One interesting comment was from the head of a large company, after we had coffee was that Chilean Ad Agencies are way behind the curve when it comes to developing digital companies targeting Gen Y's.

We agreed to catch-up over a few beers next and discuss some trends in community marketing that I have picked up from working in NYC.

The Value of a Domain Name

Interesting note on how G&J Holdings bought candy.com for US$3M.

G&J Holdings play would be sell candy online.

Basic idea really.

The official press release states that there are over 800,000 monthly searches for the word “candy” this, the US$3M price tag.
