Don't disagree with anything you said except scaling revenue. As far as I can tell they never really scaled revenue, but instead became such a threat to FB in terms of users that Zuck felt he had to give up a substantial portion of his company to own them.
Or put another way, if FB (or anyone else) and not bought them, where would they be?
- ramses0 9y agoProbably 20-50 people, 100-200 servers, and comfortably sitting on 10-30% of global instant messaging traffic running through their servers. If that's not somewhat interesting to somebody then I've got a bridge to sell you.
- inthewoods 9y agoIt's not a question of "somewhat interesting" - it's a question of what would be their revenue source.
