I don't really see the Mashable sale as a significant sign post of anything. It was vastly overvalued and $50 million is a pretty reasonable price for what it is today. Hell, it might even be high.Permalink On twitter.com

I'm not criticizing the work, or anything like that, but bubble popping of startups' over blown valuations is continual, not cyclical, and Mashable's was a long time coming.Permalink On twitter.com

I would be very interested in a Mashable 'postmortem', especially because they spend numerous years in pretty non standard biz models, which is why they're a bad measuring stick for the larger industry.Permalink On twitter.com

Honestly, the collapse of Mashable's valuation likely has a lot more to do with tech startup/VC industry than media industry.Permalink On twitter.com

It's valuation was always about its value as an arbiter and gatekeeper in that space, not about it as a media company.On twitter.com
