Comment on Pandora Acquires TicketFly for $450Mparent

Perhaps they define usage based on time?

It seems reasonable that users would spend 1b/80m = 13 times the amount of time listening to music than they do interacting with Facebook.

If you're going to use that metric, use ~1.25 B for Facebook (monthly actives on mobile).

1.25B/80m = ~16 times. The average Facebook user in the US spends about 40 minutes on FB per day (not sure of mobile vs desktop breakdown):

16*40minutes = 10 hours per day on Pandora on average. Absolutely no way.

I'm not sure if "checking facebook" is the same as "interacting with facebook"

Perhaps they define usage based on time?

That's a pretty shady thing to do.

You think that defining "most used" by "usage" is shady?

If I spend 3 minutes taking a picture to post on Facebook via my iPhone Camera App's integration with Facebook, where does that weigh in?
