I took a peak at global grind, no disrespect but it look like… well I rather not say. Either way to get US$4.5 mil for that is more like charity donation from Jim in my book. I cannot believe what I saw. Simply Amazing stuff.

That is b/c Simmons is about 10 million times cooler and more relevant than any tech heads

1) Breyer either had some drinks in him or had ben smokin’ some Sherm with Simmons to open up his trap as much as he did about FB.

2) If FB wait till 2009 to IPO, the window on this Social game will be closed, no IPO.

3) Simmons is going to send some hard pipe hittin knukkles after you for being a snitch and reporting every little thing about what you talk about with other people.

CrunchBase shows a 240M investment from MySQL? in Oct 07? That is the MSFT investment?

Where did I ever say I “struggled” to learn FBML? You are delirious.

I guess you’ve never heard of Apple

I think even if they were to support the OpenSocial api, they’ll still probably keep fbml (for a while). They’ll just use OpenSocial as a new source of app submissions and hosting.

Eventually, one will come out on top, though

Secondly, the only reason my good friend Jim would categorically deny an additional round of funding is to deny a “cashing out” mentality and valuation top for Facebook. Why would they raise so much money in a hurry if the equity was going to increase rather than decrease?

Targeting ads to active search and passively to content - goldmine, Targeting ads passively not to content but specific users - just plain creepy

Confirmed by Techcrunch, the extra 500M investment in online social networking website Facebook have now reported to be fake. While this is no surprise to a large majority of us, it does make Microsoft Corp look that much crazier for investing 250M in …

If you actually struggled learning FBML then you might stay away from Google’s OpenSocial. The code is pretty advanced, just a heads up.

I find FBML extremely easy to use, I coded the TechCrunch app in 4 hours.

Yes, I know what FBML is, and yes I’ve learned it. But why should I have to learn a new language when I could have just used my existing knowledge of javascript and html? Don’t try to insult my intelligence with your smart ass comments. Sorry you’ve spent most of your time learning to make apps for Facebook. FBML will be irrelevant in the next year. You sould a little bitter about OpenSocial.

What if Google had taken a 1.6% claim in MySpace when they made the 1 billion dollar search bar deal with them, would you be claiming that because of that transaction that MySpace was worth ump-teen billions? I doubt it, because the business behind the MySpace / Google deal was described as a source of additional revenue for Google.

I think ignoring the fact that Microsoft did not make an “investment solely in stock” of 240 million, but rather gained a partner on their advertising platform and advertising commitment with FaceBook in addition to the 1.6% stock is very misleading.

It’s called the law of diminishing returns, and FB is on it’s downward slope

Which one is better:
Windows or Mac OS?
Now look at their respective market share…
