But some how the fact that is took an app of this kind of popularity (5M+ free users, 100K paid users) to get to break even gives me chills. I bet the majority of the 10000+ apps in AppStore now has less than 1000 downloads. How will those developers survive? The AppStore is turning into a hit driven venue by the day. Would be nice to see how the long tail theory plays out here. It is nice to see that Tapulous is doing well.

Just because you get profitable once doesn't mean you'll stay there. Nonetheless, a great accomplishment, considering they had 0 revenues in September.

Why would a company raise an additional 1M if it's already profitable? I think they are clearly looking for a buyer and want to create a momentum... not a long-term business. Cause they know the long-term prospects look pretty crappy. Total BS… free PR I’d say. Why would a company raise an additional 1M if it’s already profitable?

You want to keep your investors informed. And while you never want your confidential emails leaked, the wise entrepreneur writes investor letters with that eventuality in mind.
