Facebook Stock Traded Down To $3 Billion

http://www.busi...-billion-2009-4

Here’s how it will work:
1. Given that there are about 800M shares, I will offer $125 US for one share in this new offering.
2. Your new valuation will be $125 x 800 M, or $100 billion.
3. You will pay me a nominal 0.1% commission on the increase in valuation my plan has given you: [$100 billion (new valuation) - $3 billion (current valuation) ] * .01 = $97 M

I look forward to doing business with you, Facebook.

Blu-ray uses MPEG-2, an older codec at bit rate up to 35MBPS.

Newer codecs like VC-1 (WMV AP) can achieve similar results at only 1/10 of the bit rate
You can however stream 35MBPS but all of your customers would need powerful computers with at least a 50MBPS fiber connection.

Google requires nothing other than a query (no login or registration), and it’s about everything. Any one of these issues is at least one order of magnitude as far as broad appeal and usefulness. Combine them all and Google eats Facebook for lunch.

I cant agree with your opinion that”you dont create something that a mass over 200 million users [...] because you just lucky”. Well, it is honestly 80% of luck, the rest is application itself. When you start designing any application you never set the goal whether for 1,000 users or for one million, or for 500 millions. You just go with the flow. There are other applications out there similar worse or better than facebook in functionality, but in IT like anywhere else popularity waightes alot. Facebook got lucky with good name and clean outlook. But thats not because there are bunch of geniouses working behind it, nope. If that would be true, you could always take 50 nerds put them in a box and came up with a multi-billion company. Unfortunately, it does not work this way and this world proved you got people not-too-smart getting ideas and technology in place and walking away as million- or billionares, yet you got smart people with great experience going nowhere, shutting down their ideas..
You may want to pay for facebook even $500 a month if you feel so. Me and bunch of my friends will NEVER pay for that kind of application. And neither EVER we would have to. There are other fish swimming in this pond and once Facebook will limit itself to some kind of fees, other will jump on subject and create new, (who knows?) maybe better application again being free of charge. Thats simple. As of email I totally dont need another email address, no thank you sir enough options around the net.
You cant anyhow anyway compare students social platform where people go to chat and exchange some info with LinkedIn which is focused on business and workers profiles. They can charge even $50 a month and I WOULD PAY because I know how much advantage I get all the time from being visible online thorugh that application so my business credit can stay high. Nowhere to compare with FB.
It is indeed VERY HARD for facebook start the money flow. If it wouldnt, dont you think all VC and owners would jump on that horse long time ago?? Nope. They all can imagine users decline going sharp up versus myspace going down because guess what again other fish in pond, and FB will never be paid platform until others do so. The moment they start charging for content YOU and other users PROVIDE, thats their end.
