Buy it now!

Sell it back to them for like 50x more than what you paid

They will also have to shill like $80k for just mysource.com What were they thinking?

At least think of a domain first before renaming.

GET IT GET THE BAG

I just checked, and wish I had $3250 to park on that domain

remember the only reason MSNBC is not Fox News now is that Roger Aisles and David Zaslav (David being the guy ruining Warner Brothers and HBO as CEO who has made Half a Billion in less than 5 years) is that Aisles and Zaslav were beefing, Aisles said racist things, Aisles left NBC to form Fox with

Rupert Murdoch this was when Rush Limbaugh had a tv show which Aisles produced ( I hate the 80s and 90s )

kabletown is supposed to be at least a little smarter than this, on all fronts

news and “opinion” … yeah, hard pass.

LMAO.

MS OWW that hurt to read.

As a golf fan who cares way too much about the business side of the industry this does not surprise me. The entire spin out seems like an OK idea with awful execution and branding

yeah but they can just buy this domain for $2 and the .world extension is more cheeky you gotta admit

they didn't buy the domain before announcing, just absolute fucking amateur hour at the comms department

Lowering value before acquisition and merger.

Wildly, they also don't seem to own MSNOW.com

counterpoint: this doesn’t look like a comms error, this looks like execs made a decision and ran with it without bothering to do any of the work

Seems to be at the heart of most of the decisions the NBCUniversal spin off has done

yeah that's what i meant; they launched without thinking any of this thru (or were trying to get ahead of a leak)

oh my god chat points out - msnow.com - they didn't buy the main domain either, it's own by a korean snowmobile dealer

This is some good shit right here

Mr. Snow, that's the name, that name again is Mr. Snow

wtf, just wild

Hmm

"As a part of our required settlement, the Chris Hayes show would like to remind you that a winter trip to Eobi Ice Valley isn't complete without a new snowmobile from MSnow! Check out their new sales floor in Daejeon"

still not over how A. they didn't buy any of the domains before launching and B. the new name ("my source news opinion world") literally reads like one of those fake news sites your grandma sends you a link to about how salmon causes breast cancer

Related Thought: What if that's why they made the name change? Maybe someone had the thought that their articles would reach better virality if their name had better SEO and looked similar to spam.

Idk if that's true, but regardless, pretty bleak shit.

But a spammy appearance would militate AGAINST that, right? Now a host of empirical spam filters will need to be retrained.

You would think so, right? And yet.

Even the MSNOW short hand sounds like a website that pretends to give info about Multiple Sclerosis as a front to sell ivermectin

1. It really sounds like "Person Woman Man Camera TV" to me. 2. But even that main domain. M Snow? or does it mean.. Microsoft NOW?

Could this be an m snow job?

msnowden

ah shit I was not alone in that thought bsky.app/profile/mcs2...

Ha!

sorry 'bout that -- you did it well! If I'd just scrolled...

No apologies for parallel thoughts

true, it's the divergent thoughts that cause the trouble

It sounds to me like they are intentionally trying to kill the leftmost cable news source.

I can't get it to come up now. Best case for them: the domains were purchased ahead of time under agreement to keep them under existing registration until some time after the announcement.

Dear internet, please someone who speaks Korean call this poor place up and tell them to never, ever sell the domain.

This rollout is right up there with TRONC. www.theverge.com/2018/6/18/17...

Eee heee heee hee

Cackling at the dentist office right now

Lololol

oh COME ON

I congratulate you on your quick investment purchase.

😭

Oh my dear Lord -- who laughs at this kind of nonsense (Psalm 2). Did Trump promise to take whatever was needed by hook or by crook?

Been wondering what the branding genius who came up with MAX has been up to lately.

www.godaddy.com/domainsearch... Damn. I was prepared to buy but the price is almost $4k

Lmao at all of this. They probably let an AI plan it.

msnow.online is still avilable!
