Kiko: who’s having the last laugh now?

This whole past week we’ve been hearing that Kiko being eBayed was:

• the portent of doom for the whole web 2.0 “thing”
• the heavy footsteps of Google, the new Microsoft, so get out of its way
• a business that failed because it had no business model
• a result of the founders getting bored
• just an experiment that didn’t work out

Well, looks like the people behind Kiko are having the last laugh: Kiko sold for over a quarter of a million dollars.

Let’s put that in perspective: 2 guys, a year, and $50,000 investment. Not too shabby? Not too shabby!
