StudiVZ or the fast-cloning profitability

Congratulations! An online german social network focused on students relationships called StudiVZ has been acquired by Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, a german publishing holding company.

According to Financial Times Deutschland, Holtzbrinck has paid €85 million (about $110 million) for a community of about one million users. That makes more than $110 per user!

Furthermore, the site is a shamelessly clone of Facebook, replicating not only their business model but also information architecture and design and graphical details proving that fast-cloning is still profitable in this new web2.0 bubble. What comes next? Only time will tell.
