Bitcoin vs Snapchat vs Tumblr

I think it's important to keep this in context, especially for Snapchat. Snapchat is an app. Their website contains almost nothing. I bet a VERY small percentage of people who use Snapchat have ever seen their website, much less google'd the term.

Neither Bitcoin nor Snapchat does host content, why would I search for it more than once?

Whereas "tumblr cats", "tumblr article that I've read last week", etc are much more viable.

Apples to Oranges, really.

Apples to oranges to pomegranates, more like it. Why pick these three things in particular to compare?

I'm assuming they all have a similar market valuation, or that they did 10 minutes ago or something. Not sure.

It's pretty tough to follow BTC's market valuation right now. Within the last 3 days it has been valued between 441 and 900 USD on MtGox.

Thanks! This is some very interesting feedback on the relative mindshare for each of these : )

Not sure if this is representative of "mindshare". Tumblr is a web platform, no doubt you'll get millions of typeins just because people are too lazy to type in the .com in the address.

Snapchat is a mobile platform, there's no real reason to Google "snapchat". Even if you wanted to download it you'd go directly to your app store.

Seems like I stand corrected.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing, not what I would have expected! Does it mean we should invest in Yahoo?

Really shows how our minds are slightly warped by reading all these tech sites.

Estonia seems very tech savvy
