Facebook's internal valuation revealed: $3.75 billion
- vaksel 18y agoGM: 6 billion Facebook: 3.75 billion At least they are more sensible now and dropped it from 16 billion. But it kinda makes sense, youtube had less traffic and was more resource intensive and it went for 1.5.
- tialys 18y agoOuch... that has to hurt Microsoft after what they paid for ad rights.
- rory096 18y agoNot really. The press reporting a $15 billion valuation was bullshit; it assumed that the only thing Microsoft was getting was the stake. In reality, it got a lot more, including the advertisement contract.
- bdotdub 18y agoNow they just have to find a way to make money and stop operating at a loss :) I agree, though. Getting a stake in it isn't just about the money. They both (microsoft and facebook) have powerful allies .
- martythemaniak 18y agosounds fair, given that LinkedIn recently got a $1B valuation.
