Strangely, the word "revenue" is not mentioned in that blog post once. Does anyone know if Broadcast.com ever made a meaningful amount of money before Yahoo! acquired them for $5.7 billion(!)?


Regardless of revenue, they were purchased for "over $10,000 per".

I call horse shit.

I agree with this statement, though, "It is undeniably destructive to our economy and future when many of our most innovative and exciting companies are bought by their competition."

Perhaps we're not building monopolies but huge diversified holding companies. My bet is on there actually being huge monopolistic effects of owning all the data.
