- Flurry has $50MM in VC funding. Parse had $7.7MM. Something tells me Parse would have been a lot less expensive to acquire.
- Acquiring Parse also allows FB to pass off the acquisition as some sort of pro bono play as Mike Vernal did. Buying an app analytics company would be obvious and deprive FB of this +ve good will they got for free here.
- Parse has 100,000+ "apps", Flurry has 115,000+ "customers". Assuming these are pretty much equivalent as I do, Flurry is 8 years old, Parse is 2. Tell me which looks like the better deal?
