Social sharing web site buys another variation of “stumble”.
First StumbleUpon bought Stumblers.com, now it has picked up Stumbled.com.
Stumbled.com currently has MarkMonitor company DNStinations as its owner in whois. This was the same company that helped the social sharing site purchase Stumblers.com for $6,000 back in September, so it’s highly likely that StumbleUpon is the buyer.
The domain name is currently listed for sale on Sedo for $8,000, so I suspect StumbleUpon paid no more than this.
Historical whois records show that Ian Andrew of DotCom Agency is the probable seller.
StumbleUpon does not own Stumble.com (yet).

Stumble.com would be a great brand! Oh, an artist and creative director has it – pretty nice blog! StumbleUpon would HAVE to pay him enough to retire, because it’s his brand.

Did Andrew write this article? 🙂 A lot more guessing than normal, that’s all.

Another acquisition which makes a ton of sense. 🙂 I have a friend who works for that company I am going to ask him what he thinks or if he even knew they acquired that name. It’ll be interesting to see what he says!
