ridiculous. $1 billion...

(just a little hint: there is no bebo like site/community in germany or anywhere else in europe. afaik.)

Bebo is massive in the UK and they make it hard to spam etc with. Bebo is the new myspace only more personal and organised

I hope Bebo comes with some lube for Yahoo! because they are about to get fucked in the ass if they pay $1B for it.

 

[logiik]

I've tried Bebo. It sucks ass compared to MySpace and Facebook.

There is still alot of $$$ to be made from BEBO if you have the right ideas and can get your food in the door.

$1billion is alot. My company is developing a new social networking website Sceneparty.com
im hoping for 2 - 3 times the amount of members that Bebo has. Myspace and Facebook are amazing though i have to say

 

[sebastya]

myspace has 180 million members, bebo only has 30 million

and bebo is being sold for more?

LOL

Honestly,
I think fox underpaid for myspace.com... Once myspace was sold companies realized the value of websites such as myspace and have upped the bid :X

haha... you really think myspace has 180 million members?
every stupid user in this community has at least 2 accounts and its likely even more.

... better calc with ( 180 / 4 ) and you have a real count of members.




(for americans: thats 45 million)
