The Fubra Blog

The Birth of our Talkon.it Network

This blog post what written on Thursday 16th August 2007 by Paul Maunders who has been working for Fubra as a Director and Co-Founder for 11 years. Our staff are encouraged to blog on this site, but the views expressed are individual and do not necessarily represent those of Fubra.

Back in November 2000, just a few months after Fubra Limited was formed, we registered the domain TalkOn.it. This was part of a general domain buying strategy that Brendan had been pursuing to get some of the web’s wackiest finest domain names; buyon.it, sellon.it, startabusinesson.it – letsface.it, youname.it, wehad.it!

Since then I have always poked fun at him as to when we would ever get round to using these domains, but not any more… as now that time has finally come!

Today marks the alpha launch of our new network of websites: The TalkOn.it Network. These sites are focussed around a number of specific interests, initially sports, where we are aiming to build a thriving community of passionate aficionados.

To give you an idea of what you can expect:

  • Beautifully illustrated guides to each sport, such our page on Football Tactics
  • Fubra Passport enabled discussion forums
  • Daily podcasts and vidcasts from our resident Sports Geek Expert – Neil

And loads more!

So… just maybe… Brendan might get the last laugh after all!
