Frustrating News: RuTube sells for $15MM

March 6, 2008

RuTube Sells for $15MM Frustrating Me to No End...I admit it, I am frustrated by news that the founders of RuTube, a YouTube clone out of Russia sold for $15MM.  According to Quintura, the founders of RuTube “were inspired by Google’s acquisition of YouTube and launched the site in November 2006 from the provincial Russian city of Oriol.”  Why am I frustrated?  Because I didn’t do it.  Who would have thought you could start a YouTube clone in Russia and ultimately sell for $15MM in less than two years?  It is this sort of lack in vision that is hampering my efforts.
