100 million users per month right?

Realistic revenue should be in the region 20-30 million a month - up to 360 million a year. Although the more ambitious investors are probably banking on 5 times this much revenue.

Facebook is currently making 150 million right? Or approx 15cents per user per month.

Facebook is a phenomenal success story in terms of growth but a phenomenal failure in terms of monetization.

The new girl has her work cut out I imagine. Given that she is from an adsense background, she is going to have to expand her horizons to sqeeze money out of facebook. Should be interesting))

It is nice that a company is trying to make a profit. From a general business standpoint. A company making money seems like a good idea.

I feel like facebook advertising is getting less and less useful by the minute.

@18, why are you suggesting CFO and not CTO? I hope that’s not an anti-Semitic remark.

looks like the board is brining a babysitter to watch over, Zuckerberg. He is done well to keep his job, but we all know what this means. They want to keep face and the brand while having real exec run the ship. I bet, Zuckerberg will be focusing on tech and product and she is the one calling the shots.

Facebook is extremely lucky to have Cherly join the team.

She is amazingly talented. Big loss for Google.

You know, lots of people refer to their “post” on this blog in the comments section. I thought that a given article was “posted” to the weBLOG, and readers just made “comments” (or “commented”).

On a BBS, everyone is on equal footing, and makes “posts”, but on a blog, “posts” are are made by contributors only.

Call me a stickler, but it has the effect of elevating oneself without merit. Or folks that speak other languages typically.

I wonder what the strike price of her shares was…

Other than search, what else has google been successful at that makes money or has taken off, to be worth almost 200billion at one time. Heres what is happening. people are selling their stocks cause they need the cash to cover their butts. Google is way over-valued, so are a ton of other companies.
