AOL buys Bebo for 850Mil Cash! - GoFuckYourself.com

Rodent · 03-13-2008, 03:36 PM

Got more money than myspace lol isnt that some sad shit for the guys that sold myspace.

In an unexpected move, AOL has acquired social-networking site Bebo. The price tag: $850 million in cash.

Rumors had floated over the past few months that Bebo, which has over 40 million members, was up for sale. Reports suggested a $1 billion price tag, but there were few hints as to potential buyers. Though Bebo had already partnered with AOL's AIM messaging client to facilitate friend-invite interoperability between the two services, even the most creative blogger speculation didn't seem to point to AOL eventually buying the social network.........

850 million 1 dollar bills says differently.

VeriSexy · 03-15-2008, 02:08 AM

Aol... got rolled over.

Bebo owners are doing the happy dance

Redmanthatcould · 03-15-2008, 03:07 AM

Deliciously web 2.0. $850 million worth...just depends on what AOL can do with it. It's a super ridiculously-high price tag, so I definitely don't have any confidence that they will even make that back.

Parked or skinned AOL.com in 2 years...lol

Scott McD · 03-15-2008, 03:09 AM

Bebo fucking sucks. So does AOL mind you...

Klen · 03-15-2008, 06:27 AM

Bebo was most searched keyword last year on google

RayBonga · 03-15-2008, 06:50 AM

I nver knew anyone that uses bebo.

uno · 03-15-2008, 08:49 AM

Never heard of Bebo before now.

starpimps · 03-15-2008, 10:01 AM

i guess its another smart move made by aol..like sending billions of those shitty aol free trail cd's

Drake · 03-15-2008, 10:46 AM

Yeah appears to be same as myspace/facebook. Maybe it's the new choice for teens that us older internet dinosaurs aren't privy to yet. It's been around since 2005 though, and is almost in the top Alexa 100.

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main/bebo.com

I don't know how recent the Company Info data is on Alexa. It lists revenue at $1 - $10million. Great for them to walk away 85 - 850 times their actual gross revenue in cash.

ztik · 03-15-2008, 01:55 PM

what the fuck is bebo

salaxzar · 03-15-2008, 01:59 PM

never heard before of it.....just did alexa search....got 115 rank....not bad but not 850$ million dollars..AOL fuktards...........

KILL_FRENZY · 03-15-2008, 04:25 PM

that's a lot of money for that website

wyldblyss · 03-15-2008, 07:31 PM

I never heard of it until I heard of the sale...sheesh

Doctor Dre · 03-15-2008, 08:06 PM

Bebo is very similar to facebook with the applications and everything.

tiger · 03-15-2008, 08:20 PM

Just wondering how long this crap will continue.

aico · 03-15-2008, 08:23 PM

That's a lot to pay for a pug.

zabijaq · 03-15-2008, 08:30 PM

If someone can make brand from domain BEBO, why can't I from hihahoheahox.info? :D

850 megadollars will come handy.

Bojangles · 03-15-2008, 08:42 PM

I don't know anyone who uses Bebo at all.

L-Pink · 03-15-2008, 09:02 PM

So what kind of multiple-of-earnings does that represent? Or since this is the internet do good business practices matter. I also never heard of bebo until just now.

jpwhits · 03-15-2008, 09:31 PM

I think Bebo is bigger in the UK/Europe than in the US.

Matt 26z · 03-15-2008, 10:09 PM

Let's not forget that Time Warner also owns all sorts of companies that can be promoted on Bebo now, especially music and movies.

First time I heard of it, was when they posted that solders dude's profile. the one with the puppy and the cliff. 850 mill for a web site is crazy. I can't believe it makes more than myspace..
