It also wasn’t created to be a part of the mobile web. Facebook may be the last great company of the desktop age. It’s beaten back Friendster, MySpace and a half-dozen other pretenders, and — at least so far — is successfully holding off both Twitter and Google+.

With v2.0, Flud Wants To Do For Social News Reading What Spotify Is Doing For Music
You may be familiar with Flud as the news reader app that’s trying to build an appealing alternative to Flipboard and Pulse.

Comme dans le cas d'une société en phase de création, "une valorisation est le plus souvent proportionnelle à l'argent levé.
