RockYou Widget Revenue - $100K per Month

RockYou Revenue - $100K per Month
Derek from Widgetslab points us to an interview from Forbes.com with RockYou's Jia Shen. From the article:
Since RockYou’s founding two years ago, 90 million social networkers have downloaded its applications. For this, RockYou is making more than $100,000 a month in revenues showing ads alongside its mini-applications for brands like AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ) and Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ), as well as by plugging other developers’ mini-apps (for a fee).
$100K per month? Gulp.
Could that be right? Even with big brands advertising plus the cost per install Facebook stuff, that's all the revenue they're seeing?
My best guess is that even though this article was published just five days ago, it's already out of date. I would imagine that RockYou's CPI revenue alone will exceed $100K in November.
