The 10 billion figure is ridiculous and Facebook is over-valued like any fast raising internet company. Sure they make a little money by letting companies advertise in form of applications.

All these small applications are seriosuely cluttering Facebook, I opened up my account and I have a billion request to join this, sign that, accept this, invite that.. extremely annoying. I have no idea how Facebook is valuved at $10billion. $100m to $400m maybe but $10 billion is a joke. Those company are getting money from advertisements in form of applications, as well as getting your details and give it to some marketing companies and get paid even more.

I think Microsoft is desperate enough to catch up with Google to value FB at $10 billion. If they do, I'm selling my Microsoft shares. If they are willing to value a networking site at $10b, then I think they'd lose my confidence as an investor. Besides, my investment has been dead money anyway. |
Main users varies from a wide range of people, teenagers, college kids even to professional people.
