bebo Gets $15m to .uk, .au, nz, .ca etc
When it rains social networking companies, it often pours kewl 4 letter mutants - Today bebo and its 2.5b /mth pg vws : Throw in that Friendster is hip again, even in the VC community and bebo - whose name I've heard (as per the Fred Wilson 3 times rule now in last week), has just raised $15m to dominate the social networking/schooling market for the UK/Canada/Aussie and Macmanus land. $15m, nice. From Benchmark Capital.
PaidContent : "Bebo says it is also growing well in U.S. Australia and Canada. It has a total of 24 million registered members, turning 2.5 billion monthly page views." Given MySpace Australia launched recently, but with nothing more than a customised front page (and likely ad campaign at trade and mass market) it will be interesting to see the money moves in 2.0 networking in non US markets.
Jeff Da Clavier raises a classic web social networking brand loyalty vs brand swinging older person's dichotomy among the click crazed GenY frk's : "With 2.5 billion page views a month, and over a million unique visitors, Bebo seems to be doing quite well. It is going to be interesting to monitor its progress in the US and Canada market as it competes against large incumbents. Is there such a thing as competition amongst all these networks, or are people essentially hanging out in a few of them ? Views ?"
