My Last Blog Post

written by John Chow on March 31, 2007

Build Your Online Business Now

This will be my last blog post for the foreseeable future. From now on, all future posts on John Chow dot Com will be done by Michael Kwan and Mitchell Harper. They have done a great job at helping me fill this blog with content and I’m sure they will continue doing a great job. I hope you treat them as well as you treated me.

Going On A Permanent Vacation

Starting tomorrow, I will be on permanent vacation. I have sold my company, TTZ Media Inc., to a Toronto based Internet Venture Company. The sale closed yesterday. I cannot disclose the sale price but it is enough that the interest on the money alone would put me in the top 1% income bracket.

Sarah and I plan to spend the next year traveling the world. This is the final realization of a dream. Truth of the matter is, I never expected this day would come so soon. I remember the first time I received a multi-million dollar offer for TTZ. It was during the Dot Com boom days and I said no. Six months later, the Internet crashed. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat them. I do not intend to repeat the same mistake by saying no this time around.

Good Bye For Now

I had a great time updating this blog and sharing my knowledge with you. I will log in from time to time to see how things are going and give an update on where I am in the world and what I’m eating for dinner.

Good by for now. Thank you for reading my miscellaneous ramblings.

April Fools swept the blogosphere!

Someone got fooled, post deleted :mrgreen:

If you are thinking where to go, think about central america.
:arrow:

April 1 has passed away. Now back to work......

hehe, nice one :)

But... hmm... the post date says March 31st and not April 1st. Could this be for real? Nah... ;)

... I just subscribed! ! !

Well, I hope you enjoy traveling around the world, make sure you stop by the azores in portugal...

wait a minute... April Fools, uh?

If the sale were really on the level, John or one of his successors probably would have responded since there are so many commentors calling b.s. So I'm going to have to join the nay sayers. Great idea, though!

I woke up this morning with the aim of believing nothing i read...looks like i needed that aim :P

Nice joke indeed.

I call "bullshit!"

Happy April Fools Day.
I enjoyed this day today.
First Gmail Paper,
Than Google Blog Writer
Then SM 's Fools Day Joke
Now yours.
Going to visit few more site to see what they have done ...:):):)

Nice April Fools joke. :-P

By now this post as had 10263 views...nice trick evil John! :lol:
How many links and free reviews have you got today? :twisted:

I guess we will find out for sure tomorrow. But then again if I sold a website for millions I would travel too. But I think I would still blog about it. So I am putting money on its an April Fools joke, and a very good one at that.

if it's a joke, good one. John and no web, :roll: doesnt seem real.

congrats to you John. :-)

It is a great news! My congratulation to you and your wife and the family. Wish you all would have a great tour around the world. People here miss your posts. Anyway, I shall be continuing visit your rambling blog here and look forward to seeing your posts some day. All the best !

:evil: Oh, and then half of the people that thought this was real will now have to REBLOG about John Chow's joke and then he will get another big set of links...

I know one guy who must be totally stoked to know that you took time off your lifelong vacation to leave a comment about an evil John Chow contest on his blog this morning!!

The most evil thing about this joke is the buzz and the BACKLINKS it just created... Look at all those pingbacks and thats just a fraction of the links he just got!

Ummm, I'm also selling my company for a few million... feel free to link to my site too... :mrgreen:

Haha, that would have been truly evil, if you turned off the comments.

If he turned comments off we would get so desperate we would end up commenting in the Batch 49 post... :grin:

Muahaha.

Yeah right John, and I'm Santa Claus and my wife is the tooth fairy.

Happy April everyone!

I am 100% confident that John is not going to leave this site.

Happy April's Fool Day, everyone :twisted:

Hee hee, good one. :grin: I wonder how many people got really nervous for a second.

How many people do you think are still a bit nervous? One things for sure... people are blogging about John and his last blog post. More linklove for the evil John Chow. :twisted:

Mmm, you can do it better. It wasn't evil enough John :evil:

:shock: Wow that totally got me for a minute... that's what I get for forgetting what day it is. Sheesh. Nice try, completely evil. :twisted: Props to John once again.

And to think I started to panic. Good one John!

Thanks for all your post John. I found you recently.
Good look!

Great news, Did you hear Yahoo just bought my blog for $12,000,000

I hope this is a cruel April Fools Day joke because I need my daily John Chow fix with my morning cup of coffee.

Nice April fool joke John... :smile: By the way who will be drawing the names for the flippingrich T-shirt draw on monday? :smile:

You had me...then I went, hey! April fools...so now I'll have to wait until tomorrow- just to make sure. Hope it's true for you...would be an awesome thing. :smile:

I suspect it's a joke like the others

You had me for a second John. Very well done. For a second there, I thought you had achieved what I am trying to achieve myself.

Well played.

Corey

You know that April Fool jokes are only valid on April 1st up to Noon correct?

Since this post was posted on March 31 it doesn't count as an April Fools! mauahahaha

He had to do it before though, to make it more believable.

Nice April fools prank...

Yeah I was a tad upset to read the title of this post and was not even thinking it was April fools. LOL Well John please swing by South Florida during your travels.

I don't buy it for a second! :lol:

How many post are people going to write, to say good-bye to you before they realize what you have done LMAO.

:roll: I think Tony at GeekWhat beat you to this one!

By the way, does anyone think that this is the April Fool's joke by Google? Just saw this on their site today.

"New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA)."

I'd like to know who DOESN'T think it's a joke by Google??

Kumiko

heh, someone who doesn't think it a joke by Google is a newcomer around the block. Google's been known to have April Fools jokes forever.

What are you talking about? So, it's fake? And what about Gmail Paper? :oops:

Crazy American billionaire kids :evil:
