The sheer number of page views per day make this network a monster advertising opportunity as a starting point (both PC and mobile). Didn’t Google also spend some time trying to figure out its early revenue model? I don’t think this investment keeps Mr. Li Ka-shing awake at night…

facebook is uniquely positioned because it gives developers leeway to developing money making applications on the network…that in itself will keep it going..

Facebook is not worth 15 billion, and Li Cash-ing knows that. But it isn’t entirely worthless either, because 60 million fools submitting all their personal data for market analysis cannot be wrong.

@ #8: Exactly. And really, who wants to me on the social network owned by corporate behemoths? It’s a turn off. And one owned by NewsCorp (MySpace) is no better. Nor one owned by AOL (Bebo). FB will go public soon so the early investors can cash out to the public.

anyone hear about FB shareholders selling stock? I used to work there, and I hear stories that folks who have stock have sold? Just curious.

I think friendfeed have got the right idea

The killer application will be when a mail provider effectively integrates with a social network

I would love to see facebook or myspace integrate with hotmail or gmail so i can receive friend alerts or links to new photos via an rss feed into my inbox

I think most will agree i would change my social network provider before i change my email address or mobile number

How do you rate? http://www.yupnup.com

well obviously he will make facebook exclusively available on 3 mobile and somehow block the other mobile carrier network from access, and from that he could acquire new customers. Just like what he did with skype, blocking the skype s60 client to roll out or access from other carrier in hk and some places in europe or australia, but selling the skype/facebook/orb service on 3.

Journalists need something to hype.

Most mainstream media is clueless so they jump on any obvious trend.

Luckily, the public seems to have short-term memory.

Hype. Crash. Hype. Crash.

What’s another $40 million to protect your first $60 million when you have a billions.

I don’t think Facebook is a fad, but will it sustain as new platforms and ideas come into play? Everything is happening so fast now, a competitor with a better idea can come up and get rolling fast. It may not exactly be a competitor to Facebook, but a totally different universe that draws our time and attention.

Yes, maybe thats true. But all of this plans may have some different reasons. Maybe they are planning to increase their services to satisfy clients and most of all not just to gain but to give you more and quality services in the future plans.

How could facebook be a fad when the growth rate continues to increase in an exponential rate? You show me a slow down in growth and I’ll start to listen, but until that point you don’t have a very strong argument.

The greatest scam in all internet history.
That’s fakebook.
They are still in business because all the PayPerPost they invest to be in the headlines at every moment.
No real money making strategy, and myspace is still number one without spending billions in marketing.
How many MySpace posts have you seen in T¢ lately?
None, because M$ has that word banned across their domains.

Wait, you didn’t know M$ controlled T¢?
Welcome to dirty business, where ethics was dead on arrival.

Li Ka Shing is the dad. His maverick son with the spotty track record is Richard.

Li Ka Shing’s nickname in Chinese is “Superman” his track record is stellar. This deal may seem odd but as Superman is involved there must be some other angle that is not apparent to us mortals…

wait for it. all will be revealed.

Get your facts straight, Li Ka Shing’s the dad. Thou you’re right, it’s probably his kids’ idea to buy high.
