eHow/Demand Buyout

These people claim (and maaaybe they did, LOL) to have sent a buyout offer on 5/5 for most of the articles published via the old eHow format. Guess how much they want to pay for 8 popular how-to's? 12 Let's see, I can get 3 vente frappachinos, one gourmet burger, a pair of designer slacks at Ross/TJ Maxx from about 4-5 seasons ago and ...wow, I was about to say a couple of albums and a 45 single but this is 2011, not 1977. No thank you.

If you mean Demand Studios, yes, they did buy out eHow. You have to go through them to publish on eHow now. I have a few old pieces in the old eHow format, but they haven't offered me anything for them. At least I think they're still there... I heard that they simply deleted some articles, so maybe you should take the money and run. ;)

I can't find them right away, I'd have to search for them, but I can't check my stats any more, either. I can write for Demand Studios and have an account there, but have never finished my bio because they want more than I'm willing to share.

That was something else they held against me and they have sent two reminders about their buyout since I made the original post above. Hmmmm
