Facebook

[artcarney_agr]

Anytime you have that many "eyes" looking at one place, there's value in advertising...and you see more and more ads. Having a Facebook presence is also a "must have" now for businesses. It's a serious resource for promoting your business and linking it with your website and customers.

I see a lot of value...I see something that has revolutionized digital communication...just not $104 Billion worth unless they can generate massive ad revenue to satisfy shareholders. The business model is pretty easily replicated, but the brand recognition is massive...anybody who tried to duplicate would forever be compared to Facebook. Facebook is addictive.


There's value....just doesn't seem like that much value....

MySpace used to be "it" until Facebook came along...it's only a matter of time before something else takes hold and becomes "it". Google tried, and failed...I don't see them giving up...I look for Apple to roll out "it" as they have laid out the groundwork for it and are continually growing their empire.

I was late signing into FB as I didn't see the need in it. It is useful in connecting to far away relatives and friends but I won't pay for the privilege.

More power to the new billionaires.

What may keep Facebook from going the way of MySpace is not the individual user. It's the way corporations and small businesses are using it as their main window on the world.
