All you saw on that page was the revenue?

For a potential customer deciding whether to trust a relatively small app (compared to Google and Apple) with their memories, these are useful numbers. 50% increase in paying customers this year. Nearly half a million registered users, with a 40% growth in the last 6 months. 5% of their users are paying customers. Revenue topping a million. That's stuff I want to know if I'm subscribing and uploading all my pics to their servers. I want to know if they'll be around, and my stuff is safe.

Oh please. Perhaps work on not jumping to conclusions too quickly.

How do those numbers tell you that, though? Profit would be a better indicator of how likely they are to still be around tomorrow, in my opinion at least.
