Last May, eBay dropped $75 million to acquire StumbleUpon, the site recommendation community.
Since then, StumbleUpon has slid downhill significantly, with worldwide monthly unique vistors around 2 million in Septermber, 2008, compared to over 4 million uniques in March, 2008. EBay has seen their own problems metastasize as their stock has dropped a staggering 60% in the past twelve months.
EBay has hired Deutsche Bank to handle a possible sale of the property.
Prediction: EBay will announce the sale of StumbleUpon by February 28th, 2009. The actual transfer of ownership may take place after this date, but the finalized deal must be announced for a successful judgment. Bets will close on February 23rd, 2009, or earlier depending of developing news announcements.
