EBay acquires brands4friends for $200 million
- franze 16y agothis certainly means one thing: you can make any stupid term a brand, i mean "brands4friends" come on....
- dotcoma 16y agoand ebay would buy close to anything, if it's hyped well enough...
- zackattack 16y agosome examples please.
- bcn 16y agoSkype (and to a lesser extent meetup and stumbleupon) are pretty good examples, no? However, Most of the acquisitions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_eBay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_eBay have made some sense IMO.
- zackattack 16y agohardly a pattern of behavior or the basis for such a characterization. also although it is no longer under ebay's management i suspect that skype has the possibility to become an incredibly awesome company.
- zackattack 16y agomay sound cooler if you're in Deutschland or another european country.
- franze 16y agono, it doesn't
- mleonhard 16y ago"Brands4friends is an online shop selling remainders of high quality brand name goods of the fashion industry to end users through a series of consecutive, temporary sales auctions." Sounds like a European version of Gilt Groupe, http://www.gilt.com/ http://www.gilt.com/ .
