but they didn't pay for the domain bebo.com that much, they paid for 40 million users, they don't care if it's called bebo.com or whatever-else.com

I'm going to put my IRC channel from 1997 up for sale... I'm really tired of these social media sites.

hmmm ok, so if one my websites has a bit over 40k users, is it worth 850k ?

 

[tonyfloyd]

hhhmmmm....maybe.....maybe not........probably also depends on what type of site?...

Google got youtube, so AOL decided to grab on something big too.

It's NOT 40k it's 40 million

 

[theinvestor]

He never said it was 40k. He said IF his site had 40k users..that would equal to 850k.

Since the deal was 40m = 850m.

 

[Devil Dog]

It's NOT 40k it's 40 million

I think he knows that hence the reduction in price he quoted also.
