I'm really surprised that people actually look at the websites of multi-million dollar internet-only companies and think it must be easy to build something worth that much.
- grecy 13y agoI would estimate that 99% of the people I know that use Facebook / Twitter / Gmail etc. think they are worth basically $0. After all, who do you know that has paid to use them? (obviously, I understand the reality, but most don't)
- true_religion 13y agoNow that's depressing.
- grecy 13y agoWhy does it matter to the average Joe how much a random Tech company is worth? at the end of the day, it's all made up anyway, and the vast majority are waaaaay to concerned with their next payment to think about that stuff anyway.
