VentureBeat: Report: Facebook not in trouble, still planning world domination

  • wcolbert · 1 year ago
    Facebook has plenty of uncertainty ahead of them, but they have a ton of users, money, and a lot of smart people. I'm putting my money on Facebook ultimately turning into a very successful venture.

    Growth over money? you'r joking me right?

    The main problem for FB is that the majority of the userbase is located putside the US and quite a bunch in countries with a very limited ad market, which means soon most of their users will be located in markets they can't capitalize.

    So, in short, their are giving away a service for free, 'cause they won't make that money back.

    Great
    Just what the world needs is another closed source technology monopoly.
    Facebook's ability to raise funds and to have a high valuation is built on the backs of members content and actions. And for this members receive the free use of a closed source application that could be built in less than 6 months for under 100,000 euros, and that exist somewhere in Open Source at no cost.

    Maybe it would be a bit fair to the members if they could at least have a copy of the software that their content has help to give a value to ? Maybe this way if Facebook decides to pull another Beacon; members have the choice of building a service that they want without having to be forced into being revenue Guinea Pigs for FaceBook.
