After reading this I hope that nobody makes Snapchat an offer again.

like is said in news of the day re this, if i had a proj like this and was offered 3 bil i'd take it and create something else, something better. i mean honestly, what would you do if someone waved that cheque in your face? crazy bastards, lol.
- It's maddening, isn't it? It's not like they can make a profit without the sale.monospaced
- it's crazy because today it was worth $3bil... tomorrow it may worth nothing if no one is interestedprophetone
- They should take the money and fucking laugh at Facebook for giving them money for basically nothing.monospaced
- Exactly. Take the money before anyone finds out how worthless it will be in 6 months.iCanHazQBN

The whole idea behind Snapchat seems to be diametrically opposed to the idea behind Facebook. I know it's absurd to think anyone would choose integrity out over money in this day and age but I'm gonna hold onto that hope.
That article only implies that they're holding out for more money.
- Integrity? I would kill a motherfucker for 3 Billion.iCanHazQBN
- I don't think he's doing it out of integrity.iCanHazQBN
- The VC's think it's worth at least $4Bill...that's why.BusterBoy
- You do realize FB policies on privacy will completely change Snapchat, right?cotton

Given they were funded to the tune of $60M mid year, I'd say the VC's have the founder by the nuts and he has next to no say in what goes on there any longer.

Why are all these companies always worth in the Billions of dollars? How do they come up with this price? Why isn't Snapchat worth $50 million instead? I don't get it.

Craigslist worth $18 billion (2011) http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/f…
No ads, not selling your information to third parties, and not selling out. This should be the model but as we know it's the exception. Never used snapchat and no desire to, but maybe the reasons are similar.
