Apple wants Dropbox

A yet to be confirmed rumour indicates that Apple had offered to buy Dropbox for $800 million but the increasingly popular startup has declined the offer.

That would make perfect sense, and I would love to see this acquisition passing through, however, bearing in mind multiple billion valuation, $800 million offer makes very little sense.

P.S. I don't think that multiple billion valuation makes sense either.

The Cost of Customer Acquisition

...you can’t afford to ignore the cost of customer acquisition. The earlier you work on this the better, as many of the best techniques require you to build your product differently.

It is also important to ask yourself the question: can my business realistically expect to acquire customers for considerably less than the amount that I can monetize them?

Very nice insight into Customer Acquisition process.
