TECH CRUNCH – Jan 19 – Recently, Tagged VP of Sales and Marketing Steve Sarner claimed that other companies are only just catching on to 'social discovery' sites like Tagged and his site is "by far the largest" in that sector. Author Mike Butcher threw some numbers out to argue that while Tagged has been growing, Badoo has been around just as long and is boasting larger revenues. Tagged shows a revenue growth of 35% to more than $43M and through a roll up of companies such as Digsby, WeGame, Topicmarks and hi5, now has a registered user base of 330M with active users at 20M. London-based Badoo has 35M+ active monthly users, claims annual revenue of $150M+ and has been profitable for the last 24 months after 64% year on year growth.
