[...] Thrillist是男性主題，在美國還有另一個電子報更強，叫「The Daily Candy」，專作女性的觀眾，常發送一些試用品，很受都會女性歡迎。這個list是「錢途」的代表作，西元2000年同樣於紐約創立，後來慢慢的就來到美國其他地方，甚至寄到倫敦。據維基百科資料，The Daily Candy在2003年就以3百萬小賣給某家創投，這家創投再以1.25億美元賣給固網業者Comcast，厲害吧！ [...]

Not at Michael’s usual level or digging deep for stories. Just read other stories on web that this news was made nice by Alley as Bob is an investor. @ Curious- yes they do share the investor, see Alley’s about us.

Journal said Bob tried to sell at $100M 3 years ago, then again and again and again. Looks like good revenue, but email is direct marketing and gets way lower valuations than media, else should have been a 200-250M sale (IVIl bought by NBC for 650M 2 years ago with 65M in revenue remember?)

What the hell is Comcast doing- trying to buy a write off like AOL did with Bebo? They are a cable company! As Woodie said, “You are a Toy! You are a Toy!” There is no infinity and beyond.

Who made how much? Did all the money go to Bob and the investors? Are the new employees feeling they were used as the showroom dummies? Did someone say that no one reads these emails anymore? Are the bankers smiling? Is Comcast going to lower my bill now?

@Shira Lazar – I think the lesson here is that it is still possible to over-engineer a service, and a lot of bells and whistles isn’t what it takes to get a wide audience. Most people (TechCrunch readers excepted) are put off/confused by technology. Daily Candy’s service is beautifully simple. I am surprised at the price tag, but only because I had no idea of DC’s reach & profitability.

Now, sit back and watch as Comcast screw it up by adding loads of cool new features.

Hey Video.org, chances are your audience is shit. Its the demographics they are paying for. Lots of facebook app developers got huge audiences, but the apps are worthless because they aren’t able to monetize them.

Who know women minds?

What’s the price of women loyalty?

And even smart women is conservative to moving place of gathering, though they all love fast changing fashion.

Comcast might have overpaid making people be jealous, but this is just another topic.
