Facebook - $750 Million NOT enough
Do the sites really seem to be worth that much? If you get a halfway decent idea, work on a structure, get a server running... then more as time goes on, you can make a fortune in a couple years. Are these really good investments for companies? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Haha internet bubble.
I'd take the 2 billion and run. Most amazing jew boots |
As awesome as 750 mil would be. 2 billion is a lot better. Chances are someone else will be interested but that is a hell of a lot of money.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Watch Microsoft buy it and incorporate it into X-Box Live.

Here I thought the internet bubble burst years ago! Ahah.
Given how many hits it receives it's a nice source of advertising. Some company probably is crazy enough to buy it for two billion dollars. How ya doing, buddy? |
The luck of some people truly upsets me.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I wouldn't be surprised, that kind of access to that many users is definately a huge plus. Besides, Facebook is actually a pretty good site comparatively.
I see them getting the 2 billion eventually, the website is growing and has more potential than MySpace simply because its more regulated. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Facebook is useful for getting in touch for people with your classes... the only problem is that you also have to see them with a beer bottle and no shirt. I think someone should make a better alternative and DOS them ~_~

Does Google want to buy Facebook!?

Surprised how popular facebook got. When I joined, it was still struggling to get enough users.

Is Facebook really worth that much? I guess since it was the first to do the college network thing. But still, I'm amazed the guy didn't just take the $750M. I'm sure he needs to probably split it up among his owners, and lose half of it to tax, but that's still a lot.

I really like the concept of the facebook. I refused to join it for about 6 months after i got my college email address but i'm glad i eventually did. I really have met alot of interesting people i wouldn't have otherwise at my college.
In my opinion the website has top level design and great functionality. Much better then myspace. Also, it doesn't come with near as my gay pricks and old men seeking sex with minors. Thats always a plus. Oh and i think it's definitely worth more then 750 million. I have no doubts they'll get the 2 billion from someone eventually. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Gotta say though, internet companies are not always stable.. THough if this is something that is only 2 years old.. there is still a ton of steam left in the tank for this baby to run.. I'd like to see what happens. .dc What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
How could Viacom hope to remake the $2,000,000,000 they'd have to invest on Facebook. Does the analyst that recommended them really think that college kids don't know about the Daily Show and TLR?

What the US military buy it... they wouldn't even need to make an profit on the site, the recruited privates would pay off on its own.
I'd delete my account if that happened. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Facebook > MySpace. Any day of the week.
Facebook is a powerful advertising tool. Over the last couple years, facebook has gone from the niche to the majority. They're somehow still managing to sneak in little new features into it. They've expanded to high schools and it feels like people who just got into university sign for their university's facebook the same day (which shouldn't happen, but they find a way apparently). It needs to be bought by Microsoft and become part of the MSN portal. It's gonna happen. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Yeah, Facebook is very powerful indeed. I was talking to some employmeny lawyer, and he mentioned Facebook as a very powerful tool for future recruiting and such. Good stuff.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Because, you know, it's not like when they purchase Facebook they're gaining the rights to god-knows how much in intellectual property. Terms of Service agreements, anyone? Facebook OWNS anything you post on it. Forever. That hit song you posted after your girlfriend ate your dog? They own it. Same as all your pictures, and movies.
Eventually, someone's going to post something that'll make up for the expendiature. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Pretty clever move to sell the thing. You can only do so much with a site when you're a college kid/recently graduated college kid, and media ads will only bring in so much revenue (albeit on a recurring basis). To get a huge lump sum and retire for the rest of your life, and possibly even keep a creative hand if you want...it's a good move. It has to be the right buyer, though, because Facebook going into the wrong hands would collapse faster than a house of cards in the thunderstorm going on outside my apartment right now. If they mess it up, there're too many almost decent alternatives.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Facebook is a firm's dream come true. Firms and companies have been targeting the college student demographic for years, or at least attempting to. Some have been successful, but with such a huge database of addresses, phone numbers, names, hobbies, etc., this is an advertising goldmine.
Since I don't like Facebook, I would like to see Claria Corporation purchase this one. Most amazing jew boots |
