Wonder how David will feel in six month’s time when he comes to realize that FB has been financed entirely on hot air. I guess his job description will be centered on finding a greater fool.

Genentech has always been an exceptional company so to obtain a top executive from them, Facebook must be really trying to gain some reputation points.

Always wonder if these “bad feelings” are more reflective of someone actually hoping something bad happens to facebook. Many in the Valley love to see spectacular success (particularly if they are part of it), while many more crave spectacular flame-outs (particularly if they are not a part of it). Can’t say we all don’t have our moments of jealousy, but don’t let it become overwhelming. The company IS the new front-door (along with G and arguably one or two others). Even if they never invent their second leg (the next adsense) having that first leg of the stool (being a front door) is enough. Just say no to jealous hating.

Any company that gets David Ebersman on board is extremely lucky. The man is smart in the extreme, dedicated and humble without being disingenuous at all. Facebook’s value just went up.

I have a real bad feeling about FB going MySpace’s way in two years time.

You should send that request to the product department, not financial.

His transition in will be helped a lot by the team in place. The existing finance group is full of real pros with fantastic experience from other advertising/subscription based media companies. I’m sure he’ll help them grow, but I know they’ll make sure he is successful.

Yeah, he has public company experience…but what else? No IPO, and no IPO roadshow experience. No Internet experience. His only CFO gig was Genentech, nothing prior. Different revenue structures/models. Did they like that had product ops experience and they need to clean up that area? I don’t get it…

$20 a month for video email feature on Facebook? Uhhh….NO!

How many people like me will pay for this?
Less than 0.1% probably or even lower.

Facebook seems to be making the right moves at the right time. I wonder what’s MySpace is doing to compete with Facebook?

Sure, this hire makes sense, because the finances of an ad-driven media site are exactly like those of a biotechnology firm.

Or maybe Facebook is actually one giant online drug, and all its members are test rats….

David, welcome to the facebook.
David, your a money guy.
David, your a numbers guy.

I’ll pay $20 a month for a video email feature that works in facebook. Take the money off the table and your peer’s/board will love you. How many people like me will pay for this? Probably allot, but your the numbers GUY, so you’ll have to figure that out.
