As the the 10 billion dollar business based on say 20m users, that's a valuation of $500 per user - just think of the no. of Ads serves at say $1CPM to justify it! (Thats 500,000 ads served in case you were wondering, or 1,370 per day for an annualised valuation, or 137 per day if you took a 10 year view. I don't think so ........ Nic

Put another way, won't the specificity of the model limit the number of users but increase the likelihood/reduce the risk of making a fat profit? Hi Nic,
