Facebook's active users. Very Impressive data
- nickb 20y agoData and growth is impressive but the monetization and financial perfromance of Facebook is one of the worst: http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/2006/12/14/new-monetization-hype/ http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/2006/12/14/new-monetization-hype/ and look at numbers here: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:thoUwXzOOQsJ:valleywag.com/tech/advertising/facebook-consistently-the-worst-performing-site-242234.php&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1& http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:thoUwXzOOQsJ:valleywag.com/tech/advertising/facebook-consistently-the-worst-performing-site-242234.php&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&
- zach 20y agoGood evidence, as if any was needed, for an inverse correlation between four-year-college admission and clickthrough rates.
- nickb 20y agoAbsolutely true. From my own expirience, smart people just don't click on advertising and most of them have some kind of an ad blocking software installed. Myspace crowd is a lot more diverse than Facebook's so Myspace performs a lot better in CPM. Monetizing smart crowd that's averse to advertising is one of the toughest problems any social site will face. Another one is monetizing very young crowd (13-17 year olds)... they just don't have much disposable income.... that's Digg's problem.
