The valuation does seem a little high to me. I take valuations of companies that are 3-5 years out with a lot of salt as they never figure in any negative news. Deal Breaker has some good quotes on both sides of the MySpace valuation. The URL is http://www.dealbreaker.com/2006/09/what_is_myspace_worth.php I agree Paul.

(This is, of course, not removing the number of spam profiles....and I can't even begin to imagine how many myspace profiles are simply spam)-- that brings each user up to roughly 250 dollars in a value. (rough guesstimate) am I missing something here. Everything I've read on Myspace advertising ROI screams that is worst than worthless. Where do they get this value?
