Yes it’s overvalued by any metric created to date.
It has been armchair quarterbacked to death.
They have no CEO…still.
If they just did this……………………………………..and this…………….and…….
I am the only person in America not on the board of directors.
It’s not Facebook.
It’s not ‘growing’ by whatever that means to Wall Street today.
It’s not Snapchat. Thank god.

Well, it is a valuable service. It does provide demographic and ‘mood’ data. It’s just not that cool anymore and isn’t a go-to form of social media. This feed the infinite negative feedback of poor monetization performance. Of course, if Google were to buy them then they’d be valuable the same way Netscape was valuable. As a buyout target.
