Maybe I'm an idiot, but let's do some basic math here. $15Billion valuation at 42million registered users comes out to over $300 per user. Now let's say Facebook earns a VERY healthy $5CPM and we assume a 33% sellthru. That means to recoup the investment, a user would have to log in every day and have 50 page views per day would take over 9 years to make their money back. Who is behind this shadiness?






You assume a steady membership, but it is in fact growing by 200.000 users per day. The international versions havn't even started and the value of the open API has not yet been explored. So how will this change the numbers?


OT: dear "milchbroetchen" - you are linking to a rather obscure site "treehugginpussy". I appreciate your crisp and insightful commentary - but could please change to a relevant identity?


sorry, its my blog, but the harddisc is resting in front of me right now, so its offline right now. The link is all good and sound, but feel free to remove it.


bot-check passed: nice to have you here!
