Friendfeed is overvalued (wallen.typepad.com)

In what way is the valuation just for the users? :)

$50M might let you put together an all-star tech team. But this $50M brings a team, some users, a decent "techy-loved" brand, some real-time code (which facebook wants so bad) and as a cherry on top absorbs a fairly big (or potential) competitor.

Yes the smart man might have spent the $50M on an all-star team. But the very smart man would have bought FF :)


It's funny how you can just predict the title of blog posts for days after a major deal closes.

All those people that would have done a better deal jumping up and down to show they know better.
