"The Convergence of Messaging"
Lots of chatter about Twitter being offered $500MM by Facebook. Some think Twitter is crazy not to take it, while many others correctly point out that $500MM is not $500MM if it’s in stock. While Facebook may hold out the Microsoft $15 billion valuation (an artificial auction given how strategically important the advertising deal was to Microsoft, not to mention that they received preferred stock), my discussions with a number of people tell me Facebook common stock has been trading hands at somewhere between $3 and $4 billion in value. If you’re Twitter, that’s the difference between owning 3% of Facebook and 12.5%. That’s a huge difference in ownership when it comes to upside!
