sometimes i feel like facebook is that waste-of-my-time show that i get pulled into when i switch on my tv. it sucks up time from my life i will never get back.
- zaidf 16y agoit sucks up time from my life i will never get back. You could be talking about the entertainment industry. They seem to be doing ok in the market.
- rahooligan 16y agoyeah they do very well. check out http://www.americaisretarded.com/ http://www.americaisretarded.com/. it is possible to make money without generating much value (like 'the situation' from jersey shore). facebook has a big market cap but imo it doesnt have much value.
- spitfire 16y agoThe term you're looking for is fad. Facebook, like the situation, is a fad. It'll pass. Anyone remember myspace? orkut? friendster? These all blew up hugely, then people got bored or grew up.
- nkohari 16y agoTwitter has a strong impact on our culture, but without a rational business model, and several quarters of profitable growth, an IPO will never happen. I certainly wouldn't buy stock in a company which doesn't know how to make money, no matter how impactful their product is.
- rahooligan 16y agomy bet is twitter will figure out monetization. im sure they have something in the works. look at ad.ly for instance - instream advertising. they seem to be doing well.
- c00ki3s 16y agoJust thought I'd add this, here in Europe (Switzerland to be precise) nobody I've ever met uses Twitter. Facebook is omnipresent (omnipotent? ;)), but most folk don't even seem to know of Twitter (apart from techies, but still no users). Of course, small sample size etc.
