Valued at 25B! How come it could justify this valuation?
They will eventually blackmail all their users.. "You actually believed we deleted the porn you sent three years ago, Taylor Swift? Mahahaha!! Now you owe us $10M or we broadcast! Mahahaha!!"
is it going public for real? nothing in the news!
unbridled optimism
Cash grab bro
Whatsapp was $19 billion. I don't think $25 billion is out of line with that. It is the standard way the young generation communicates now, much like Facebook was years ago.
Snapchat doesn’t have nearly as many users as WhatsApp had
But who (and where) were most of WhatsApps' active users? Were they in demographics that advertisers want to target? Do they spend money on mobile? I suspect Snapchat has much more monetizable users, and probably much higher engagement.
need a plan to monetize tho ...
they already have ads and sponsored content, what are you talking about?
that will only get them so far
And yahoo is 4B. Sigh!!
This is a bubble market - look at valuations of most companies that are yet to turn in a profit. Once they go public the market will normalize/fix the valuation
Snapchat has has great leadership. They are reportedly building their own ad network/exchange. That will justify the 25B valuation IMHO.
