It seems high, based on Bebo's footprint on the social network "scene". Mike I agree that it is a good move, but is that price range realistic?

May be Bebo is searching buyer, unofficially making up these rumors. Google already has Orkut, DodgeBall etc. and could not make them profitable business.

Ultimately, I think that's the big picture that they've got in mind. Once they have that, Google will create an open ground so they can beat everyone at the social networking game. It's their typical strategy. Now that I think about it, this will help them push open social, social graph and other innovations designed to combine social networks.

Google seems to like social networks that are primarily foreign people... probably because the US social networks are a dime a dozen. I've never even checked out Bebo, so I can't speculate much on this one.

If it allows them to more than double their share of the social networking market, considering how fast the popularity of social networking sites are growing, I believe it is a good move by Google.

Buying Bebo gives them instant access to new markets. Orkut is nowhere in most of the biggest social networking markets (in terms of %age of the population regualtly using such services).
