Bubbleshare got sold, and Browster is no more. Congratulations to Bubbleshare!

It's just a Web site where users post photo albums? No fees, no advertisements, no income whatsoever unless I am missing something. Anyone could make a site like this, wait until there's a bunch of content from users, and then receive $2.25 million? It wouldn't cost nearly that simply to pay a few people to make such a site. The reason why I am wondering is because I would love to do the same thing (be set for life off of making some user content site), but don't really understand what they are paying for here -- why it's worth anything at all (that would help, haha).

As far as I can tell, the site doesn't make money, but simply pays money to allow anyone to put photos online... And a company buys it for 2.25 million. If someone can explain to me how this site is worth all of this money (or direct me to an article), it would be greatly appreciated. I don’t understand how this is possible.
