Maybe I'm just a dummy, but there is no way in hell I would ever invest in FB. They don't produce a damn thing except advertising and I guess if you have to pay to play their stupid games. I'm not on there anymore anyway, but can someone explain how it could be a good investment.

Do you realize how valuable your personal information is?

I guess I look at Google providing more of a service than FB. After the myspace implosion, I guess I'm a skeptic.

Network television doesn't produce anything but advertising and they seem to have done OK.

True enough. I think I'm still going to invest in a strip club though.

I was reading an article not too long ago that more people are moving to twitter as its more private.

FB might be past its goldenage and Mark knows it and is trying to cash in.

Do you think FB will do the same??? If it does, cool, but I still don't see it. The internet as a whole is a flakey lot, and will move right along with the next big thing.

And then Mark will bring his next baby to the game.....
You gotta think that he has another one up his sleeve, after he cashes out of this one.
