I don't see it, man. We build awesome sites and apps at my shop, and they show their value within days of deployment, yet clients will shudder at anything above 150k. Don't get me wrong, I love what Snapchat is doing, and I wish them the best, but I don't understand the numbers.

Does anyone have insight into where these very high numbers come from/why they reach these levels?
