A bit is an understatement. Giving them the best poss let's say they had a kick ass Q4 and closed out at 2 billion top line for the year.. that's alot of fucking money but the margins are thin and there is no way they can maintain their rate of growth, and Goldman's going to put a valuation at a 25 times multiple?
Whenever people get really into it about facebook someone always says, "Zuckerberg's barely scratched the surface of Facebook's earning potential"- and while that may be true I have to ask, what the fuck is he waiting for?
He's looking for an exit. I think he knows there's a delicate balance when it comes to monetizing social networking traffic, if you squeeze your surfers to hard they'll label you a pariah and abandon ship. He doesn't want to rock the boat, facebook can't hit a plateau. His focus is on sewing the seeds, building the story, and chumming the waters with "leaks" like these.
Whomever buys the company will have the public perception of the hand off being their game to lose, but the reality might be when a community has reached it's peak there's nowhere to go but down.
