Facebook may be valuable to Facebook, but for its subscribers it is a liability. It isn’t ‘your’ Facebook profile, it is Facebook’s profile about you. People! Wake up! facebook.com is NOT your website. To be self-possessed you must have your own domain name and use your own website and email, not Facebook’s!

Facebook is Great!

Facebook is a joke. No one likes to use it because it’s interface is tiny and ugly. You can’t customize it at all. The customer has to adjust to facebook. With MySpace the service adjusts to the customers or users. Facebook it like this tiny box where you have to fit your identity into it’s tiny holes. It will never be big because people are not machines that fit nicely into cookie cutter stamps. I imagine the same type of people who get engrossed in online games like second life like facebook because it is an online world that has nothing to do with reality. MySpace reflects reality and in the end reality will win. Cya peace

MS was in talks with FB back in july. At that time they wanted to buy it out for $6 billion. http://www.coll....php?topic=37.0

I guess they settled for $240 million for 2%.

Facebook is a one-company internet bubble. Social networking sites are like fashion, or other fad based social movements. Remember the images of that balloon in Canada recently crashing and burning (burning and crashing)?

another thing, the first bubble happened because everyone, even average joes, invested in internet companies’ IPOs.

I think we’ll look back on this bubble as mainly companies wasting money on mostly worthless websites.

Nothing as Hyped up as Facebook has ever lasted—- ever. Meteoric. Consider it.

The money probably goes back to msft. In its hey day, AOL did deals such as these where the company being invested in was “forced” to buy advertising space in AOL. The more transactions you complete, the more value you create. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

All the naysayers get over yourselves. MSFT aint dumb, never was and never will be, and they can see the once in a lifetime potential of facebook. Frankly it could be worth a hell of a lot more based on all the key valuation metrics of dcf and multiples (in time) but more importantly, its strategic value is immense. To be able to reach (eventually) a large proportion of the global online population in a structured manner is worth about as much as ExxonMobil, a shitload, and that’s the potential of what we’re talking about here. Sure there’s risk of the new new thing but all dominant players in an industry face these risks and overall protect their turf. If we roll forward 12mths and facebook has 3x their current number of highly active users, we’ll be talking and valuing them in the same way as GOOG
