Bottom line is they have a good "product" and it will continue to work - just a question of "to what level."
They may have a hard time matching the size of the bids next time around, but the bottom line is the that the long-term success will end up being commensurate to the value received. RB is so much at the forefront right now that they definitely have a viable business model. I think the key will be finding complementary, relevant advertisers (which did not necessarily seem to be the case with the bidders). If they find the right advertisers (open-minded, progressive, with a complementary product or service), the advertisers will get huge value and everything will roll along smoothly.
