John - I do agree - $10bn was probably more realistic :-)

Jokes aside - that valuation has subsequently been ratified by another $500m in investment from some hedge funds - although I do believe that they played Microsoft off against the others and wound up with a higher valuation - which was smart.

Its questionable if the value really is $15 Billion since this was a deal done because of the advertising deal Microsoft got out of it. So its a bit of a bribe..
