The price isn't the only thing that's high.
Bill: Dude, are we better than Reddit?
Ted: Like, yeah, man, totally.
Bill: Dude, like how much better?
Ted: Like a hundred times, bro!
Bill: Then we should like sell it for... like... a hundred times as much!
Ted: Whoah, do you have any idea how much weed that would buy?
[They look at each other]
Wyld Stallyns!
- tocomment 19y agoReddit got 18 million.
- downer 19y agoBill and Ted can't do math. - I thought the terms were confidential. They really got 18?!? Now I am trying to decide if that really pisses me off to no end or not!
- tocomment 19y agoI thought I read it somewhere, I'm not sure though.
- ctkrohn 19y agoI was under the impression it was closer to 10-12mm. Now I love Reddit, but I do think the Reddit guys made out like bandits. It will be a while before Conde Nast recoups their investment, especially if the site continues to stagnate.
- kn0thing 19y agoStagnate? :-( Have you seen this chart? http://reddit.blogspot.com/2007/11/website-needs-traffic-empirical-study.html http://reddit.blogspot.com/2007/11/website-needs-traffic-emp...
- nailer 19y agoConde Nast purchased Reddit to take their engine mainsteam, as there are more people interested in fashion and gossip then electronics and programming. CNs mainstrean reddit, lipstick.com, is stagnating, and has hardly any activity. Check out sugarloving.com for a decent, mainsteam-content social news site (that does a lot better than lipstick.com) Both sites, however, miss how visual such interests are. If Tara Reid falls over drunk again, then you better have a picture of her falling over drunk. Galliano's new collection is better described by images than a paragraph of text.
- Tichy 19y agoWow, I looked at sugarloving, and my eyes immediately glazed over. Booo-ring! I have also always wondered about social slashdots. Especially, I mean - women, they love to talk, right? So how come the only obsessive online-communities appear to be dominated by males? It doesn't make sense.
- jgrahamc 19y agoWhile we're generalizing women do seem to like to talk to each other and they seem to exchange all sorts of information and experiences that way. But have you ever noticed that they also look at each other when they are talking, I think women like to actually exchange a lot more through non-verbal cues. Perhaps that's not true of men.
- Tichy 19y agoAlso, perhaps for women it is more a tool of trading, maybe they don't like to broadcast to the world. Rather, they like to be able to be picky in chosing people they relay information to. Just guessing (stereotypes)...
- ctkrohn 19y agokn0thing -- when do we get tags, working search, and good recommendations? :-/ Fortunately these things aren't crucial to having a good time on a social news site.
- fleaflicker 19y agonobody knows, it was never reported. if somebody told you they know, they don't.
- kn0thing 19y agoI heard they got around 200m...
- greendestiny 19y agoI heard they gave it away for a couple parties with free beer.
- socmoth 19y agoomg kn0thing how did you find that out! ;)
- icky 19y agoNo way, dude... If they got THAT much, they'd probably just sit around all day and spend all their time on reddit... ;-) (or news.yc...)
- ntoshev 19y agoThe network effect of 10x more users may justify 100x the price.
