Amazon actually paid $150M for Goodreads - from AllThingsD
In light of the other thread about the BS $1B valuation based on an active users count (this is why the businessweek's of the world don't get tech), this price makes a lot more sense - Goodreads' users are not worth the same as LinkedIn or even Facebook.
- crapshoot101 14y agothis is interesting to me, given the silly discussion about the $1B price point (this is why BusinessWeek doesn't get tech) - clearly Goodreads users are not worth as much as LinkedIn users or even FB ones.
- mrwhy2k 14y agoI think that sounds like a fair price based on other acquisitions taking place. You can see how many DAU they had on FB, they were thriving.
