I'm skeptical about how the money will be spent - i.e. how much of it will get dumped into corporate expenses (cars, planes, travel, etc) compared to it being spent on real long term benefits for the company. Guess time will tell. I’m with Eric on this one.

Everyone bragged about how much venture capital they could raise - but no one talked about profits. Granted, Zillow is very popular, but I think that online companies that are successful do so b/c they learn to be lean. Why do you need 20 sales reps? Why do they need an additional $30m? Their market presence is huge - but they don't do a ton of advertising other than PR & online. You would think they could get by on a lot less. I read about this & it made me think of the late 90’s.
