"I was dazzled by it at Groupon's Google acquisition turndown, and am dazzled by it with Zuck as well"
Clearly the move by Groupon was a mistake. Ok, you want to build a big company and have a vision, etc, etc... Great. Who cares? That kind of money doesn't come along very often — take it and move on to your NEXT great idea. You'll have another one. Millions in the bank and vacations on yachts and private islands do wonders for the imagination.
Of course, I thought Zuck was crazy for turning down $1 billion from Yahoo 5 years ago. He turned out to be right on that one.
