FB has great network effects, low cost of production and sales, dominance in its sector and excellent growth rate. FB has raised $300 so far and is slated to earn $300 million in revenue this year. FB has over 130 million unique visitors. FB got a nominal valuation of $15 billion on Microsoft investment of $246 million. FB is said to have a $3.75 billion valuation according to its own internal calculations. (For comparison, Bebo, with 40 million users, sold to AOL for $850 million @ $21.25/user. MySpace, with 21 million users at the time, went to News Corp @ $27.62/user. Skype to eBay for $4.1 billion @ $52/user.) In just a few short years, FB has achieved all this apparently without killing animals. This is supposed to be failure? I gotta get me some of that fad to make my life to come together like that. -- Kontra http://counternotions.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
