Reminds me of alot of dot com companies. They have huge traffic but do not make money. If you keep burning through the money sooner or later no one will give you more. Popular sites like utube and social sites most do not make money or little compared to the amount of traffic. Every company has to figure out how they can earn money on the internet in thier field. If not no matter how popular or good the site is it will go under.

I’m with Eric on this one. 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 read about this & it made me think of the late 90’s. 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.
