Slide Opens Sales Office, Techcrunch questions its value

by Avatar X	Stumble this!	June 05th 2008

A interesting post about the little bit of news that Slide is opening a sales Office in New York (so now it operates in both coasts) serves as the way of Techcrunch questioning Slide value….yet again.

I mean, i do agree with Mark on all the facts he brings to the table of Slide. everyone know they are in on the fun. but fun is huge biz. how is different what Slide does compared to Celebrities or Trivial Businesses like the ornaments biz that is absolutely ephemeral, trivial and even shallow but has been a huge biz for what? 200 years now?.

I see slide the same way. they along RockYou went for that space in the Widget Market, and they do a damn fine job at it. too good actually. i am not a stranger to question both companies. just last week i questioned RockYou position too. but the very same things that serve as a way to question slide are the same reason for their success. including the fact its founder got quite a success record..

On the Huge Valuation of slide.. well that is a thing i blame Facebook as a association to Slide best market. so maybe the blame is in the Facebook Value speculation.

Still a nice post for those not familiar with Slide as a company:
