Yedda funded earlier this month: competition is good
I was shocked & amazed to find out that Yedda.com was funded earlier this month. 2.5 million? And, nope, it's not a joke.
So the first thing I do is trot over to my favorite 3rd party analytics service, Quantcast.com. I type in their url to compare traffic, and low & behold - 3K daily unique visitors. WTF? 3,000 people visit their site daily?
After Yedda was featured in techcrunch, mashable, and a host of other teir one 'net publications, PC World, MIT's Technology review, etc...they're only getting 3K visitors a day? WOW.
FunAdvice, so you know, gets more than 200,000 unique visitors a month, and growing. Today, for example, we've had over 5K as I write this, and even though Quantcast does under report for us both...say Quantcast is off by 33%, that would only make Yedda's reach 1/2 what ours is. Interesting.
Tell you what: anybody reading this, you can buy FunAdvice.com (we have international domains, a killer product roadmap, and more) for the bargain price of $5,000,000. That's right, five million dollars & you can have the site, the code, the 15,000 users, eveything. A bargain, compared to the 30-40% stake the VC firm who invested in Yedda got for $2.5 million.
