NO RELATION!

Turned down $3 Bill from Google for Snap chat!

I understand you made it and want to see it through and you just saw Twitters IPO raise about $10 Bill, so on paper, I see how one can sit in a board room and figure that the potential to raise $10 B or even more is awfully attractive, BUT ITS 3$ BILL!!!!! TODAY JUNIOR!

If your life goal at 23 was to provide Snap chat so teenagers can send naked pics back and forth, drug dealers can do deals and traders can do insider trading, then I get it.. But the questions is, what happens when textchat.com comes out with the same ability to erase pics of your wang! Your Snap chap might be one of 50!

Some of these tech guys I think just like being the STAR so much these days, they dont want to step out of the spotlight after the sell.

I would be gone so fast! You can find me on my Island! or my penthouse! in various cities!

but once again. $3 BILLIONS BEEEEELLLLLLLON! You should have called the guys at Groupon before you turned it down (They were offered $6BILL and said No. OOps)

Another ECON 101 lesson for the board. $1 today is worth more than 1$ in the future.

But I do think the Groupon folks would like a do over.

He probably has some pretty intense pressure from recent investors though to not sell.

When Groupon was offered that money, i said the same thing. Its not they do something that anyone cant copy. Now there are multiple companies doing what these guys do and all they have is a list.

Groupon will never be worth what it was and they need to reinvent themselves now to even become something.

I cant imagine SnapChat being worth 3x what Instagram was sold for.

Ummmm if you come across any of Selena Gomez Id like to take a look at those.

Im surprised Zuckerberg even offered that much


I guess they just have unlimited funds earmarked for acquiring any social network that takes away young users

I believe with a lot of these deals he's already taken a pretty good payout when he let people buy in to the company.
You could have a competitor for it for under a $10,000 total investment.

That was definitely investors not wanting to sell and the breakup fee not being high enough for the possible antitrust concerns.

There was a book written about it.

yes, I see Leonis everyday on CNBC talking about the great things they are working on at Groupon.

Is the name of the book OOPS?

It would be like if some cigarette company started getting popular with Teens. Marlboro (or whatever the actual name is now) would be all over them

Its the issue I have and had with Facebook. At what point do the lose in a huge landslide to all these newer groups?

Many major investors are jumping off the Facebook train and its not because of any multiples, its because they see now kids using it!

Facebook is desperate to stay relevant. They have failed spectacularly to do anything else besides the standard social networking stuff.

Instagram was a nice move in that regard

Yes, agreed

So buy My space, then just rerelease it in 5 years! lol

Retro Web!

I think it's the opposite. Kids aren't using it.

FB seems kind of entrenched at this point. All their moves now are to make share value/profit. As a product so many people use it I do not see it going away any time soon.

Facebook is desperate though. They have failed to diversify and they continue to be a one dimensional product. I was a big defender of the future of Facebook but they have not really done much well and now the answer they have seems to be to throw in as many ads as they can.

It won't go away, but there is a major danger that things like snap chat or instagram(which they very smartly bought) which work better on phones will take over and basically turn facebook into AOL Instant Messenger.

You are right Rick but I was saying it will take some time because of such a huge mass of people using it as a tool. It is familiar now and no one cares (that is using not investing) if it makes money.
