It’s so funny. Yesterday evening I signed up for a StumbleUpon account. I was stumbling away for 3-4 hours straight and decided to incorporate it into my blog because it’s so cool. Today morning I woke up to this.
USD 75 million! And they had a USD 1.7 million seed funding last year. It would be interesting to see how eBay uses StumbleUpon. Maybe as an advertising avenue perhaps?
It looks like irregardless of service, a company that has a growing number of users and a decent (bare) enough business model seem to be acquired every now and then. So the moral of the web2.0 story? Build a site that attracts as many users as fast as possible.
