CONTENT DISTRIBUTION ACROSS PLATFORMS BECOMING KEY
MYSPACE BUYS LEADING FACEBOOK DEVELOPER; FACEBOOK CREATES TWITTER UPDATE CAPABILITY MySpace finally confirmed last week the much-rumoured acquisition of leading Facebook developer iLike. Terms of the deal are believed to be $13.5 mil lion upfront and $6.5 mill ion in retention payouts over t ime. With this acquisition, MySpace now owns the 14
th largest (according to www.appdata.com) Facebook developer – based on the number of
monthly active users. Facebook itself announced that Facebook Page owners would be able to automatically update their Twitter status with their Facebook updates. Twitter users have long been able to update their Facebook status with their Tweets. Clearly, the large social network players see the value in al lowing their users to cross-poll inate content across the different platforms.
A much better August than 2008: Total capital raised in August (so far) is $148.1 mil lion on 17 transactions. The average for August, month-to-date so far, is $8.7 mil lion. This is well ahead of the mere $82.3 mill ion (eight deals, $10.3 mil lion average) raised in August 2008. However, this is down sequential ly from June and July, with one week to go in the month. Total capital raised in July on 34 transactions was $190.2 mill ion, averaging $5.6 mil lion, and June was $204.1 mill ion (averaging $5.0 mill ion).
