Is that top line or net? I always heard they run on very thin margins and hadn't even seen a profit until last year.

Probably has an economy of scale kicking in to drop per user rates as more and more users join their network.

Thanks for the link Shelly....

Quote " According to a July 2008 analysis from Data Center Knowledge, Facebook was spending somewhere between $20m and $25m a year on data center space. The previous November, unnamed sources told TechCrunch that the company was spending "well over" a million a month on electricity alone and "likely" another $500,000 for bandwidth. And of course, spending was on the rise "........ and that was 2008 !! Crazy Stats !!
