18 month online startup, sold for 580 million !!! wtf
Back in 2003, half of the VC's in silicon valley were chasing the idea that the web could connnect people to one another, rather than to information. It took a couple of Los Angeles hipsters to give abstraction - dubbed online social networking - a seriously viral form. Anderson and Dewolfe grandually cobbled together the iltimate web-services mashup. It was a free-for-all of blogging, instant messaging, phonecam uploads,mp3, video clips, and anything new that came along, all stewing in a both of hot bands, hit movies and teenage lovelies. MySpace.com was bought by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch.
Think & Prosper from your next brilliant idea!
