Especially in the blogosphere. Comments taken out of context for the sole purpose of creating pageviews, piggy backing on the notariety of others, or getting eyeballs rarely tell the story accurately.<BR/><BR/>2) I've been in New York's Silicon Alley, NOT Silicon Valley for over 20 years. <BR/><BR/>3) I left Razorfish in 2001, and had nothing to do with its eventual sale to SBI, or any of the activity of the company after April of 2001.<BR/><BR/>At that time Razorfish had close to $ 260 Million in revenue, 2200 employees, offices in 15 cities and 9 countires and over $ 60 Million in cash in the bank.<BR/><BR/>SBI bought the company in 2002 and sold it to Aquantive in 2004, and Aquantive sold itself to Microsoft for $ 6 billion in cash.<BR/><BR/>The experience was exhilerating, humbling, eye opening, and a life changing extravaganza.<BR/><BR/>humility is a virtue that is earned through the fire of experience.<BR/><BR/>jeff dachisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
