Episode 24 – Crackle, $300 million for Yipes, streetviewr

Episode 24 notes:

Crackle

Crackle is the latest incarnation of Grouper, a Web site that began as a way for people to share music, photos and videos with friends. It transformed itself into a YouTube clone and was bought last August by Sony Pictures Entertainment for $65 million. At the time, Sony said Grouper would be focused mainly on user-created video, which it hoped would spur the use of its home video equipment.

$300 million for Yipes

They say, any exit is a good exit. So from that perspective the investors of Yipes, a managed Ethernet services provider based in San Francisco must be feeling really good. They invested $100 million in the new Yipes, a company with a tumultuous history, and were rewarded when Reliance Communications of India acquired it for $300 million this morning.
