Glam Media On A Roll: Raises $50 Million In Private Equity At $750 Million Valuation
Sawickipedia: WTF!?!?!? Don’t these investors look at comparables? Glam is an ad network. Those normally get valued at 3 to 5x rev. This crazy.

Word. And the expectation that an IPO will happen this or next year means the buck will stop there. Mass scrutiny once it’s public will leave it’s price in the basement.

Sounds like the kind of round that goes straight into the pockets of the founders / early employees / early investors. Not sure about calling them a pure ad network - the demographic is appealing for e-commerce as well as advertising, if they get around to it.
The importance of hubs may have been overstated, say Kitsak and pals. “In contrast to common belief, the most influential spreaders in a social network do not correspond to the best connected people or to the most central people,” they say.
At first glance this seems somewhat counterintuitive but on reflection it makes perfect sense. Kitsak and co point out that there are various sceanrios in which well connected hubs have little influence over the spread of infromation. “For example, if a hub exists at the end of a branch at the periphery of a network, it will have a minimal impact in the spreading process through the core of the network.”…
The question then is how to find these influential individuals. Kitsak and co say that the way to do this is to study a quantity called the network’s “k-shell decomposition”. That sounds complicated but it isn’t: a k-shell is simply a network pruned down to the nodes with more than k neighbours. Individuals in the highest k-shells are the most influential spreaders.
