FOX News and MySpace are partnering to launch Fox’s citizen journalism social media platform on MySpace, called uReport. MySpace members can share citizen produced content with the MySpace community, as well as have the chance to be featured on FOX News. FOX News and MySpace are both owned by News Corp.
Rick Schwartz, after selling the domain iReport.com to CNN, wrote:
The race is on. Will Fox News fight back and get uReport.com? The one thing that is a SURE BET, is WHEN that domain eventually sells to Fox, and it WILL sell to them at some point, it will sell at a rate much higher than $750k
Rick of course saw this coming. Yet another good call on his behalf!
If my memory serves me right a while ago I got an email from Sedo offering the domain for US$ 250,000.00. I don’t have a copy of the email here but maybe someone does? Any more info on this do let me know.

It will be in the same ballpark at 750k, similar to ireport.com. The question is who owns youreport.com?
MySpace has been very active recently. They have also signed a deal with TELNIC and will be pushing sales of the hot new .TEL domain extentions.

Aside from the fact that there were 100,000 .TEL’s sold on launch, more impressive is the fact that they are being developed at a rapid pace. I used MySpaces .TEL search engine the other day and noticed thousands of developed results.
I’m betting Marchex will get over a million US for this domain name. These report names are worth a lot of money since most media outlets are going in this direction.
Who did Marchex buy this name off of?
