This does not make sense.
I am the developer of two Facebook apps, Friend Interview and Quiz Monster. I would argue those two apps are more valuable than Slide's and there is no way they are worth $182 million.
What is Google buying?

- BenS 16y agoGoogle is buying distribution across many social networks in lots of countries, and a team 100+ smart engineers and product designers.
- muhfuhkuh 16y agoThat Slide has 100 any human beings working on essentially a slideshow flash widget, a couple embedded video players, and a patronizing knock-off social game is incredulous. If they can fetch that number, then whateverlife should've been worth a billion. This may be where we see Hunter Thompson's high water mark for the Social Web, where the tides broke and rolled back.
- davcro 16y agoQuiz Monster and Friend Interview have a bigger userbase both international and in the US than Slide's apps. Granted I'm only looking at FB here, but IMO that is the only social network that matters. I work solo and believe that my apps could be run with just one educated rails developer. Isnt that a better buy than a smaller app that needs 100 eningeers? And I'm not some special case here. There are a handful of Indy fb devs with bigger apps than mine. This deal makes zero sense to me.
