So let me see.
Xobni showed Khosla people that they have some "cool" desktop app (or plugin, whatever) and Khosla Ventures love it and thought that it has a huge growth potential so they gave them money (in the area of millions).
I think that's 1/3 of the whole story. I'm guessing they also show their business model (or at least business plan).
Think about it carefully, this isn't YAW2.0 (Yet Another Web 2.0). This is a desktop app (or plugin). It's not like you can throw in the wild and put Ads. And remember, these guys are playing in Microsoft backyard.
