SitePoint today launched the public beta of Flippa.com, the new number one website selling and buying marketplace.
Their first blog post explains the change:
Why Flippa.com? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
In a nut shell, the SitePoint Marketplace has outgrown its tab on sitepoint.com. For this marketplace to remain the #1 location for buying and selling web sites, and for us to properly service the needs of our buyer and seller community, it simply had to have its own identity – it had to be set free from sitepoint.com. Once you’ve had a chance to look around the site we’re confident that you’ll agree it was the right move.
