Really nice guy and I am super happy to see Fixya doing so well. One of the commenter's mentioned a Spanish version of the site. I think that is an amazing idea and the next way to go. There must be millions of frustrated Spanish speakers that have difficulty with technical manuals that can utilize this service.

The bubble has burst and web2.0 merchandise is not as hot as it used to be. If this company actually makes so much out of adsense then there's very little added value for the big players to add. Above that 200-300K per month means $4M yearly income. With 40 employees that's bearly breaking even. According to Alexa they have completely stopped growing. So I wonder, who in his right mind is going to pay $60M for this? (Serious question) I agree it’s a nice site but people need to wake up.
