Broadcast.com's bar is incorrectly scaled down 1000x -- overlay shows cost per user is over $10k, but it lists at $10.

Yep, that was the first thing I checked as well, actually broadcast.com is by far the most expensive acquisition.

There's probably a bug in the visualization library getting the thousands coma as a decimal separator, too bad :)

I think it's the comma. The visualization code must just grab the first set of numbers.

indeed. it was the first thing i looked for... and when i saw $10 i was shocked that broadcast.com had any use let alone billions...
