If you break 15-25M you’ve got something potentially game changing (digg, twitter, Gawker, Weblogs, Inc), and if you reach 30m+ you’ve got a good chance of building a legendary brand (Facebook).

Good to know there are easy yardsticks like this. Thanks Jason.
By this measure we’ve already got a very real business, are potentially game changing and are on our way to having a good chance of building a legendary brand.
Good to know.

Except that none of the sites that Calacanis listed, except for Gawker, makes any sort of real money (aka operates with profit).
Your uniques number is only important as how much you’re paying for them.
(That’s not to say acquiring 10M+ uniques is by any means an easy thing, but userbase alone doesn’t make anything legendary or noteworthy, especially at this juncture of the internet— and, to a lesser extent, the economic climate)
