"To put the acquisition in perspective I pulled together data from a selection of 30 notable internet acquisitions over the last 10 years, from Broadcast.com to OMGPop to see if Facebook/Instagram for $1 billion was as crazy as everyone thinks. (I left out companies without public purchase prices or user stats.)" He even uses companies like Zappos and Skype...you know...companies with actual revenue models and/or profitability.

Article states that around mid 2009, Blizzard's claim of 11.5 million users is technically correct, but if each user is proportionally corrected to being equal in amount paid, the equivalent would be 6.5 million US/Western European subscribers. #video #games #blizzard #world #warcraft #of #statistics #disingenuous #gamers #numbers #pub

"This article includes one of the most misleading statistics concerning higher education: "People with bachelor's degrees... still earn an average of about $1.2M more than high school graduates over a 40-year career".

The next year they draft Harrington, etc." #statistics #sports #football #pub
