I guess running the company is more fun than doing whatever you want everyday for the rest of your life.
edit:the alley insider article implies that the deal was ALL facebook stock. I would probably turn that down too and wait for a non toilet-paper offer. I mean how much can you sell facebook stock for? Are there any buyers?
it always looks like it's peaking if your growth is hyperbolic. whether or not they're idiots or geniuses is determined by the market.
but if I was running twitter I would certainly take $150 million in cash. If you still want to run a company well now you have cash and a success under your belt. Funding should be an order of magnitude easier.
"it always looks like it's peaking if your growth is hyperbolic."
Sure, but the fact we're even discussing $250m valuation for a company whos only real worth seems to be its users and possible future profit, should be a good pointer that this is a peak. Much like Facebook peaked.
