A note about the venture capital. The LA Times reports it as $17 million, $13 million of that from Softbank. NetworkWorld a few months later has the initial round as $30 million, which makes me wonder if maybe the reporter misheard "thirteen" as "thirty". If so, it's not clear to me if the implied second round ($18 to $20 million) reflects a smaller cash infusion - in which case the number is probably the total venture capital invested, period - or if it was a full round of additional investment in anticipation of the IPO (also plausible in the context of the inflated valuations being discussed). --Michael Snow (talk) 19:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
