HOW VALUABLE ARE UNIQUE VISITORS?

Twitter is rumoured to be raising a new $50 million round of funding at a $1 billion valuation. The company most
recently raised $35 million at a rumoured $250 million valuation in February. W hile the increase in value seems
extraordinary, when looking at the valuation per unique visitor (UV), the increase is less impressive – from $29 to $42
(+47%). Note that we would of course prefer comparing valuation based on financial metrics such as cash flow or
even revenue. However, Twitter has not yet started generating any revenue.

Quiet After Mint: Following Intuit’s acquisition of Mint.com for $170 million last week, financing and M&A headlines were
more muted with the $20 million series D financing of Ensequence making the top headline in the W eb 2.0 space. Fwix, a
local news search application developer, announced a $2.8 million series A raise. NextBio, a life sciences collaboration
products company, announced $8.0 million in series C financing. Finally, Mocapay, a mobile payments services concern, is
raising $3 million in a series C financing. For additional details on financings, see Figures 23 and 24 (at end of note).

skews the dollars transacted to the SMS/Voice segment, while the $170 million acquisition of Mint brings the Vertical
Communities segment to the second highest total.
