As a point of clarification, RockYou has more than 150MM views a day and more than 200K flash-based widgets embedded a day. This apparently would (also) make us the largest widget company on the web.

A sign of a bubble is when journalists act as mouth pieces for the hype fed by startups with nary a questions. I'm surprised (should I be?) that Matt doesn't make any effort to decipher the numbers. For instance, ask this question: how many of those 200K widgets created are people just testing out the site and then walking away. This is where the hype lies. Sad to see bloggers swallow hook line and sinker.
