The deal size is far less than $50mm. Insiders say that Gametrust has been losing money every day since its conception. Most of the investors havent even made their money back. My guess, $9mm for whole thing. Worst part is the technology isnt worth a damn, so what did Real Networks pay for? Maybe just the distribution deals that Gametrust had. Big Wup. This report is wrong.

Social network will be part of ALL internet and mobile services, soon even manufacturers and retailers will jump on board. Those who won't build one, can't survive the competition's cost savings in marketing. Hopefully OpenID or something else will get us through the jungle of hundreds of social networking sites. Social networking is not a service anymore, it's a feature... (Facebook might be an exception) Of course they are.
