Is fluther a private company, or is it owned by a larger company? If privately held, has anyone heard any talk of someone buying it up?

I believe so, you can start by researching the owners of Fluther, Inc. from the site footer. I will bet that they have a simple LLC or something like that for now.

Fluther is actually a C corp, not an LLC. And, yes, it’s privately owned.

Well that’s cool. If it does get picked up by someone bigger, hopefully it won’t be Yahoo.

@sferik: technically, it’s an S Corp.

Hmm, how much do you think Fluther could sell for?
