It has been a good buy but I was figuring they could have snapped them up at 30% of the acquisition price now.

I love Facebook but I do not like Hi5. I am using it on daily basis

Hi5 has nothing to do with Facebook… They won't go far

Yes, I think the Web 2.0 companies are struggling to find VCs now. Many have been hard hit.

The application is very interesting and it promotes better interaction among the users. Nice one.

Hi5 looks like a second class citizen comparing to Facebook.

It's been awhile since I last heard of Web 2.0 acquisitions. I think the funds kind of all tight up and investors are wary with the declining stock prices.

I think this is a very strategic move. Pixverse had been making big waves and if Hi5 didn't acquire them, they risked Pixverse being acquired by other competitors. This has been a good acquisition I feel.

I think Hi5's really cool except for the fact that the main page is a little boring.

I don't think Hi5 will go far. They will have a tough time competing with FaceBook. Their invites also irritates the hell out of me.

I'm not a fan of Hi5 either. They lacked class.

I don't know why people like Hi5. For one I think their look and feel sucks and their viral invitation messages look very intruding comparing to Facebook.

This is an interesting way to have interactive conversations when you have the likes of Twitter and FriendFeed and not set to one specific social network. For the visually inclined I think it could be promising. If I were on the business end to buy this application I would consider an acquisition and even think of Facebook integration.
