[...] Ultimately, Kawasaki’s name makes Alltop an attractive acquisition for a larger media company. His name provides the press attention needed to bring in the early adopters. Finance-wise, he has spent $30K thus far, $6K of that being the purchase of new Macbook Airs for his web design team. Any acquisition would most certainly lead to a positive liquidity event for Kawaski. In fact, his former startup, Truemors, was recently acquired. [...]

[...] Conform TechCrunch, site-ul Truemors dezvoltat de Guy Kawasaki a fost vandut fara sa fie specificat pretul de achizitie (chiar sunt curios care este). Guy Kawasaki a fost primul evanghelist Apple, apoi a mai avut diverse roluri in diverse firme mai mult sau mai putin obscure, dar in mintea mea este unul dintre cei mai buni public speakeri pe care ii stiu.

Actually, the price was 7 magic beans, which we swear will grow into massive beanstalks. These beanstalks will lead to Web 3.0. For real.

I am the CEO of NowPublic and co-founder. I don’t want to skewer the rumour mill at all, but we approximately paid 120 million for Truemors give or take a few million. But really, who is counting?

And seriously, have you seen Guy? He is the best looking guy in the tech biz….of course we were going to acquire his company. Jeez.

We are proud to have Truemors part of the NowPublic team going forward. Was really very value add for us to have the new editorial base and focus.

Okay, okay…we actually paid 100 million.
