Me + Bebo co-founders

This is me, pictured yesterday, with brothers Michael and Paul Birch, who just sold their company, Bebo, for $850 million to AOL. It was especially nice to see a couple of Brits pull that one off, as most of the big acquisition action seems to be dominated by Yanks.

All I could think, though, is how crazy it might drive you to know that most of the people you meet are very familiar with your bank balance, and may value that rather than you.

That said, for a chunk of $850 million, I’m sure I could learn to live with such uncertainty.
