Comment on Not a Bubble... At All (Instagram vs. Lucasfilm)

Comments

This is a bit of an odd comparison. I don't see LucasFilm and Instagram as being even remotely similar. For example, the reason why Instagram was so valuable is because it was poised to challenge the #1 reason why people use Facebook. If a Facebook competitor had bought Instagram then they could have potentially toppled Facebook's position atop the social networking heap. This single fact made Instagram incredibly valuable. And it's not something that can be compared to the valuation for LucasFilm.
