There are people who know how to see opportunities when they arise, and the entrepreneur Ron Sheridan It is one of them. It is also true that you have to be in the right place and at the right time, and the closure of Google Reader is what has meant that perfect combination for him, although it remains to be seen if everything works out for him.
Sheridan bought the online domain RSS.com for 125.000$ with the idea of setting up an RSS web service, similar to Google Reader, but finally it failed and he never managed to get the project started, despite the initial investment in the domain.
Since Google Reader announced that from July 1 it would stop working, there are many who have launched themselves to become the alternative to fill a large gap that will remain on the Internet. Feedly has been one of the most successful, and although there are many other alternatives, there is still no real one that can replace Google Reader as it was this.
Ron Sheridan's decision has been to put RSS.com domain for sale again, for the not inconsiderable sum of 200.000$. So far he has not had any luck in his campaign, but it is certainly the perfect domain for those who decide to launch a service that becomes a real real alternative to Google Reader.
If he does not succeed in his attempt to sell the domain, he will undertake a campaign to gather resources and launch himself and with the partners who sign up this much sought-after alternative to Google Reader.
