Facebook has turned investitors’s head. Those who has too much money and don’t know where to spend it or those who are searching for superduper perspectives in new market are muddled.
Can this virtual business Facebook[dot]com be worthy of $15 000 000 000? It’s inconceivable.
I believe one of Honk Kong multimillionaire Li Ka-shing would disagree with this because of spending $60 millions for 0.04% of Facebook shares. Similarly did Microsoft paying $240 millions for 1.6% of shares. I can’t say they are stupid. Nether Li Ka-shing nor microsoft got working place in Facebook which is founded by 23 years old Mark Zuckerberg.
“Microsoft and Google now appear tempted to add more froth by investing a silly sum in Facebook, the latest big thing. All three—the internet telephone firm, the video site and the social network—make almost no money.” (The Economist)
“No money” is not very accurate. But the income is orientated to advertisement. Since when advertisement business is so worth?
For web 2.0 business agents it is impossible to earn from it’s user because the business is based on easy and for free.
But the media still exists and lives for advertisement and remember that media is really big. Most of internet users suffer of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. So the advertisement can be noticed among the necessary information. So nowadays you can see too many advertisements. Let’s say you load any page and get big Lexus on your screen. Only if you click on “Skipp ad” you get what you wanted. I just want to say it is very annoying.
Is it possible that one web site can be worthy of $15 000 000 000? I don’t know maybe there are too much money in the world.
