2015 – Sedo finally upgrades its parking and sales user interface to be more user friendly 🙂
Great people at Sedo but too many German engineers.

“2007- Sedo acquires DomainsBot”
I believe it was/is “just” a strategic partnership, not a take over.
@Rob: Believe me, we German domainers are as unhappy with the “new” Sedo Site as the rest of the world ;).
