I am a Canadian living in the London (the one in the UK) and still read the Globe online. Anyway, I blogged about Vonage this morning in response to the float. In my post I compare visits to Vonage's website to that of Skype (in the UK of course). Skype receives 8.5 times more visits than Vonage and Vongage has not really seen a whole lot of growth in the past few months, while Skype continues to climb. The new partnership between Skype and Bebo seems to have really paid off. Matthew, great to find your blog. I am a Canadian living in the London (the one in the UK) and still read the Globe online.

Maybe all the people like me who said Google was too expensive, and missed the boat :-) Seriously though, I don't know who bought it, but it was obviously people who didn't really pay much attention to any of the market research or commentary out there. Maybe it was Vonage users who bought stock through the special offer they did, and then dumped it. My hunch is that it was probably fund managers looking to make a fast buck by dumping it after the first-day pop, except that they didn't get one.
