And...

For ten million US dollars a year and with a staff of fewer than 35 people, it runs the fifth most-read website in the entire world.

10mil!

I wonder what the top 4 read sites are.. edit this shows wiki 6th>

My main problem with the wikipedia is that its not a credible source, its a hodgepodge of somewhat correct information.

Good for some reference, but not really as accurate as a proper encyclopedia.

Sadly, thats how I describe most sources on the internet.

It seems that popular opinion is becomming truth.

I glanced over their financial report and didn't think they were in financial trouble but I might have missed something.

I think that if they're running low on funds they'll probably cave and work ads into the website - they'd probably make a killing with even just a couple of ads.

I think someone like google, yahoo or MS will be looking to buy them out.

I sure hope they don't. Next thing you know there will be some annoying Dodge Ram advertisement with noise playing in the background.

"non-profit" but their yearly salaray allowance seems pretty high.

Average of $85g/year, that's not very much for living in SanFran. Honestly, it doesn't seem that high at all considering how big it is.

I don't understand how they've spent almost $100M since launching, yet don't appear to have any sources of income other than donations? :confused:

They are registered as a non-profit charity and receive millions in donations
