Facebook conspiracy therory... (1 Viewer)

Paying a fee would make sense and be a more predictible way of generating revenue. You just wonder how the FB community would receive that. I use it occasionally. However, they just put out (or at least I just noticed it) a new app that I like: a map app where you can indicate where you've been, where you lived.

I wonder at what point Twitter will go public. Their form of generating revenue seems even more hypothetical than FB's.

For those who pooh pooh these sites, they are great for networking as in Linked In. I've told this story before but my newphew who is a part time portrait painter has seen his business mushroom since he started using FB.

I have also generated business from Facebook with local real estate agents...forgot to mention that! I also just saw an ad on TV from web.com that will build you a FB business website for FREE and if 90 days your not happy cancel it!

Interesting read as it sound's exacltly as I had posted on day one...for a minute there I thought I was the guy in the story? Close actually, except on Monday I was able to force a close but it is what I thought would have happened had I not succeeded in closing the open order/position...not touching this stock for awhile now!

I believe that something which FB may have realised, but many analysts definitely failed to realise, and many investors just as definitely are wise to, is that the moment FB ceases to be a diversion and becomes an annoyance, people will simply stop logging in. Permanently.

Or becomes an open invitation to get robbed, like the family of the kid recently who announced he and his family were going away on a trip and came back to find their home robbed...............

I heard FB should be trading at $6!

That'll teach a kid to talk about his families movements. I never discuss my comings and goings until I'm back.

honestly, who's to say. there was so much hype leading up to the ipo - i knew something was really, really wrong. but i knew that before.

here is a company with all the potential in the e-world yet with no mobile strategy. they can't clutter their pages with endless advertisements. they have always had a hard time monetizing their ad content.

they shoved timeline on the majority of the users against the users wishes - an inferior interface which clutters and makes a page completely inefficient to use or navigate.

they have, however, been allowing people like me to create pages for my grandfathers art, my woodworking among other things. my woodworking page has gotten me some business so thats a plus.
