Revenue, revenue.

I mean, we were cash flowing.

Maybe I did more than that revenue because by October, November, we were making like $200,000 a month in cash flow.

We...

In 08, we did like 38 million in revenues.

And we probably made like...

I don't know, 12 or 15 million in cash flow.

But we were putting all that money, we were putting it into big data and then data centers.

And then we were raising more and more money because I didn't want to ever slow down.

But my point is, I let our story be told by our competitors and by press I didn't talk to.

And I'm kind of nuanced, and Zynga was nuanced.

And so I let the story go out that we're making all money from advertising, but it was really user pay.

And I was fine with that.

I didn't want to say, no, you're wrong.

And then Arrington, who I'm friends with, I'm an investor in his fund now, he used CityVille.
