As of this moment, the URL dailybeast.com is for sale. I entered a bid of fifty bucks but was told I'd have to offer at least three figures to nab it. That made me reconsider whether I really want to get in a bidding war with Barry Diller, who's backing Brown in the venture.

Dailybeast.com's current owner appears to be someone called James Moy, who also holds thedailybeast.com. So far I haven't been able to get in touch with him. This is what he has posted on the sites right now:
