Given the app isn't particularly popular or compelling, I'm a bit incredulous over the fact that you only need a couple of internet-famous co-founders to warrant a $100MM offer.
- johnrob 16y agoI won't conclude that there wasn't more to offer than just internet fame, but I will say that brand is something that companies will pay a big premium for.

(Originally Keyhole and Urchin respectively.) In any case, I'm not sure Path has yet established enough of a brand to be worth that kind of premium.
