it's probably a talent buyout by jeep 05/04/2010, 11:40am PDT
like pownce, they get a year's salary each and a job at google. if there's any more money than that it went back to their investors

companies like that only sell for more if they are making a profit on an ongoing basis

a year from now, if the founding guys leave google without having another job, they made big money off this. otherwise it's just a salary bonus so they don't have to admit their business failed and their investors pulled the plug.

for the complete opposite, watch what happens to brightcove this year
