On b-
Not sure if it's worth $25 billion, but I have noticed that it is the "Facebook" for younger generations, and that when they use it, they use it all the time, not just a few times a day like other social media. It's a way to share their lives - in real time - with their friends and followers, and have their friends do the same.
(Look at me sounding like an old man!)
- monkmartinez 10y agoThat isn't "old man" that is practical thinking. Kids don't have any money!!!!!!!!!!
- ethbro 10y agoBut kids do have income increases and their highest years of earning ahead of them. That has to be worth something.
- majormajor 10y agoHow visible are AOL Instant Messenger ads to you these days? ;)
- ethbro 10y agoPoint. But I'm not going to discount the non-zero effect they likely still have on my reasoning for choosing certain brands when all else is equal.
- gotrecruit 10y agothat's a fundamental misunderstanding of marketing. you probably subconsciously remember some of the ads, and even assimilated some of those messages into your psyche without realizing it. these probably manifest in ways like when you want to buy something and can't help but seem partial to a particular brand even though you're not sure why.
- monkmartinez 10y agoIt will be worth something when they actually spend those dollars. Until then, we are talking about potential. Remember the dotcom days, lots of potential.
