Heck the major problem behind the credit and subprime issues are because of venture capitalists over evaluating the value of subprime bonds. I'm sure AFM is worth at least $1m if some venture capitalist were to have his/her say. it is in the venture capitalists interests to jack up the evaluations.

For instance, when Engadget or Gizmodo post rumors, they have a huge amount of credibility. A recent example of that was when they posted a rumor about apple before the iPhone launch, it had a noticeable affect on apples stock prices. So its not only how many people are reading, but who those people are. kind of a quality v. quantity. numbers drive ad revenue, quality drives change in the market.
