Anyone know for how much $$$ ?
- uptown 16y agoIt's ironic that the one piece of information TechCrunch always tried to include in their stories is left out when it's about themselves.
- gojomo 16y agoI hope he got a Bebo-like valuation... and can then buy it back for cents on the dollar 2 years later.
- zipzap 16y agoI would love to see this. As much as they say the site will be independent, it's hard to believe AOL won't ask for a few favors every now and then.
- bretthellman 16y agoI'm guessing for $80 million
- mikeryan 16y agoSo weblogs inc went for $25M in 2005. I'm thinking somewhere in between your number and that. maybe $30-35M fun game though ;-P
- raheemm 16y ago$100 million. I figure Mike has no reason to sell unless its a sweet offer - TC has good revenue, its growing, and he has a good team running it.
- aberkowitz 16y agoPerhaps he's just had enough. In the Inc interview [1] he gave the impression that he lived for TechCrunch. After four years of that, he must be exhausted.

- tlb 16y agoI've been privy to some secret acquisition terms in the past, and in most cases the speculation on the web had no connection to reality. When you make up numbers, they can get repeated until they gain credibility and drown out any genuine information about the deal, a disservice to the community.
