Makes the $25,000,000 AOL spent on TechCrunch seem so paltry.

I'm shocked that Mashable is perceived to be 8x the value TechCrunch was, when it was acquired by AOL. Either TechCrunch was low-balled, or Mashable's value is over-inflated. I suspect the latter...

Mashable has a wider audience, less niche (startups are not mainstream yet). Mashable also has a higher traffic rate. Pete Cashmore knows what he's doing.

'Cashmore' -I honestly for a second thought it was a pun on the founder's name,till I googled him. Extremely impressive exit for a 26 year old guy!
