I agree that it does seem like a lot of money. However, I think they know that the whole widget advertising bit is really an area for a lot of potential profit and they’re taking advantage of it.

The company was valued at $220 according to the filings. The guys at DCM got schnookered. $30M is alot of money to burn needlessly. If I were an investor in their funds, my stomach would be queezzzy!!! The greater fool theory is at play again.

“Double-digit” millions. I almost died laughing. Please. Show us some stats RockYou. That seems hilarious. Did they do double-digit millions run-rate for a day and multiply that by 365 to get to their revenue run rate?

They wouldn't need to raise this much capital if they were generating that much money. Their operating costs can't be that high.
