Binary Pricing « Five Years Too Late

http://fiveyearstoolate.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/binary-pricing/ Stuart Ellman When I (Stuart) just started in business, I worked with cash flowing entities, both buying them and selling them. Pricing methodology for these businesses was well-established and easily-understood: Project out the cash flows of the business, discount those cash flows at the appropriate discount rate and arrive at a present-value number. All I needed was Brealey and Myers Principles of Corporate Finance and my HP 12-C.

A year ago we modeled out the true value of various social networks based on the idea that users in high-value online advertising markets like Japan, the UK and the U.S. were worth more (financially speaking) than those in lower value online advertising markets. Facebook had recently become the largest worldwide social network in terms of users, but based on our model MySpace was still by far the most valuable social network.

FF - FB deal

iLike acquired for $20m

$ 20m for 50m total registered users among which 31 million total Facebook installations among which 10 million monthly active users. Applying similar ratio that makes 16 m active users out of the 50m registered. Hence a user multiple of 1.3$. Sounds low.
