SOCIAL MEDIA AND MICRO BLOG METRICS SHOW GROWTH BY LEAPS AND BO UNDS
T WIT T E R G RO W S U S ER BA S E B Y 1,5 00 P E R CE NT IN M AY
Traditional media such as Radio and Print continue their declines, affected both by the global economy as well as
user preferences. TV, on the other hand, specifically specialty TV, continues to grow and is expected to do so at
modest rates. The growth and decline observed on the various traditional platforms are due to people using new
media (such as blogs, social networks, blogs, online video, online radio, etc.) to consume content. Further, revenue
from advertising is affected by the current economic environment, as well as advertisers transferring dollars from
traditional media to the new media. As a result, the traditional media revenue model is under tremendous pressure.
For a full discussion on this trend, please read our report, published June 10, titled “Don’t Change the Channel: TV
the Brightest Spot in the Canadian Market.” In our report, we profile a few companies, as well as offer a brief
summary of many other participants.
In the meantime, new media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook continue to post rapid growth on both their user
base and time spent by an average user. Twitter’s user base grew by 1,500% Y/Y in May to 18.2 million users,
according to Nielsen online. Further, users spent significantly more time on Twitter, from ~6 minutes in 2008 to ~17
minutes as of May 2009. Facebook topped the list among social networks with 144.3 million unique visitors globally in
May.

Our fifth W eb 2.0 session last Tuesday (June 16) was well attended, with over 40 participants from industry,
institutional investors, and VCs. W e believe that the session was successful in bringing the various participants
together and starting discussions on various topics that are at the heart of the community. The topics, being very
broad and deserving attention (at a much larger scope), could not be concluded in a single session, but opened a
platform for sharing what is near and dear to each representative of the community. Some of the discussion points
were:
1. At what stage should a W eb 2.0 start-up approach a venture capitalist for funding? W hat are some of the
factors that entrepreneurs should be mindful of when approaching venture capitalists?
2. How many investments and how much can VCs effectively manage in their portfolios? W hat should VCs do
differently when ~95% of them post only mediocre investment returns?
3. Technology being a commodity, how can W eb 2.0 companies address their target markets and create a
business model that generates revenues sooner?
4. Is the VC system broken? Should VCs manage fewer but bigger investments?
5. How should government in Canada support start-ups, as well as VCs? W hat should be done differently from
today, such that government be in the business of creating industries versus being in direct competition to
them?
On the capital raise front, Sugar Inc. leads: Total capital raised three weeks into June is $125.5 million on a total
of 24 transactions. It was led by Sugar Inc. raising $16.0 million, closely followed by Tumri ($15 million), Boku ($13
million), W imba ($12 million), and Grab Networks ($12 million). All other transactions were less than $10 million. The
average value for the month-to-date is $5.0 million, below the average value for May of $6.4 million (excluding the
$200 million investment in Facebook) on 16 financings. For additional details, see Figures 22 and 23 (at end of note).

A w eak price performance week: The companies in our universe had mostly weak stock price performances over
the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1) (Figure 6), with 13 companies showing positive returns on the
week. Gree Inc. (3632:TSE) led the group with a 17% return, while Openwave Systems Inc. (OPW V:NASDAQ) had
the worst return, dropping 13% in the week.

THE WEB 2.0 UNIVERSE


Ninety-One public Web 2.0 companies = $52.7 billion market cap: Our W eb 2.0 universe contains 91 companies, with a
combined market cap of approximately $52.7 billion (Figure 1). The average market cap for the group is ~$579 million (but
a median of only $49.6 million), with average trailing revenue of $151.7 million (median $54.0 million). The companies are
also generally profitable, with a median EBITDA margin of 13.2%. On a valuation basis, the overall average is 4.5x trailing
revenue (median 1.4x) and 9.6x trailing EBITDA (median 9.4x). Fourteen of the companies have more than 500
employees.
