if they dont find pay model on fb after the costs, that will go down, and how much did they made last yr?Comment

As part of the deal, Goldman Sachs will help Facebook raise an additional $1.5 billion. To do this, the investment bank will create a “special purpose vehicle” that will allow others to invest in Facebook indirectly. This would help Facebook bypass a S.E.C. regulation that requires companies with more than 499 investors to disclose their financial results to the public.Comment

their ads are wack.. i know maybe one person who makes $ on fb ads cuz they charge too much and it converts shitty.. who the hell wants indian and chinese traffic..
anyway they tried to become the next adwords, unfortunately they wont be... USERS go to google to find things(therefore adwords works)
users go to facebook to stalk girls and talk to friends(ads dont work as well)
Same reason myspace isnt raking in billions from their ad model.._________________

I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of bubbles popping up. Facebook, Twitter and Groupon will lead the way, probably followed by Zynga if people end up getting tired of silly shit like Farmville. I'm not sure I'd actually mind if that bubble burst...then the internet can get back to providing shit that's actually useful.Last edited by PornMD; 01-03-2011, 02:07 PM.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?

Wait until they serve ads for all the sites that have Facebook Connect (2m+ so far).
I expect more from MarketSmart and Wiredguy, you guys should know what the deal is with Facebook.
The word "bubble" has become such an overused term and is often used wrongly. Facebook is a brand machine, it will be bigger than Google. Anyone who can't see this needs to get their heads examined.Comment

Social media bullshit, it's great for attention whores though, just perfect

i am a fucking spammer bro.. always have been always will be..
i dont have time for building relationships on FB..
i spend my time building scripts that automate things on a massive level..
i tried fb traffic and for me it was not worth the effort..
i spent some time with the co founder of wordpress a few months ago and he rolls around in some pretty high tech circles and we talked about fb and he without hesitation told me that he is pretty confident that fb will go the way of myspace in less than 5 years..
so,. i'll go with his opinion over a bunch of former gas station attendants that are now adult webmasters...

I agree with this. Myspace was huge, where is it now.
AOL, geocities, yahoo, myspace, the trend of 3-5 years of lifespan is clear. Facebook is just a matter of time before the masses get bored with it and every says "You're STILL on Facebook?"Comment
-
the next trend will be with niche and micro niche social networking using tools like buddypress...
only attention whores (god bless them) want everyone to know and see their business..
fb has become a place where bosses, etc see your shenanagins and could ultimately hurt your career, private or family life..
fb was great as showing people what social networking can be, but the next level in my opinion is more privacy where only you and your close friends know where your meeting place is..
fads come and go and fb took myspace and made it simpler and more mature adult friendly..
thats all they did at the end of the day and thats why it took off..
in a few years the next phase will kick in and it wont be FB.....

it's got a bit of steam yet.
can FB topple over eventually? sure. especially if they don't listen to suggestions how annoying the interface is.
I thought Zuckerberg (iceberg metaphor noted) was worth $15 billion?
OK, as a devout numerologist (BOLT = fastest, BILL = richest, WOODS = golfer)
I am definitely predicting FB will sucker up an iceberg and sink with 1000s on board.Comment

I'll be impressed by Facebook when they can develop a sound model to monetize their traffic, they're making money but solely because of Zynga and their games. Take away Zynga and their revenues will drop like a rock. Something like Groupon is doing it right, they have legions of buyers and opening their platform to the masses to use their platform. They are nowhere near the size of Facebook and yet dramatically more profitable.

The combination of massive government red tape and folks like Goldman Sachs who don't have to play by the rules others struggle to understand and comply with . . . seriously makes blood spurt out my ears.Comment

Facebook is a shit business no matter how you look at it.
They are more popular than Google yet make less money than companies you have probably never even heard of.
Considering their popularity and ubiquity, they should be one of the top earners in the tech field, yet they don't even make enough money to cover their own expansion.
But this is the new way to make money in tech, keep everything secret and cash in off the "funding". Twitter doesn't even bother trying to make money, that's how ludicrous this has all become. It's better to not even try to make money and let people guess how much you could make. Sort of like Sarah Palin running for president. She stays popular as long as she keeps people guessing.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment
