Comment on EBay acquires Hunch for $80m

Comments

Something about Hunch's trajectory is utterly predictable and ever-so-slightly depressing. I suppose building to sell is a perfectly valid business model -- if you succeed -- but it makes me feel a little dirty. And if nobody buys you, you're well and truly f#%@$ed.

Although who am I to argue with $80 million.

And if nobody buys you, you're well and truly f#%@$ed.

Really? If you don't have a 'building to sell' roadmap in the first place, why be depressed? If you're building a long-term, stable company with real value and profits, you're not for sale in the first place.
