Get Glue Raises Money (something here is odd)

Get Glue Raises Money (something here is odd):

erikschwartz:

100 million checkins from 2 million users seems unlikely (they also mention 350M total checkins, comments, and ratings). Users going from 750K to 2 million (~2.6X) but checkins grew 1000% (10X) is also hard to reconcile. Not all 2 million users are active, many connect via FB or twitter and never use the service. I’m supposed to believe an average of 50 checkins per user (plus another 125 “interactions”) and a 4x increase of engagement.

Something feels odd about these numbers.
