I'm curious, do you know when Andreessen said that? Because two years ago I would've believed it, but now I just don't buy it.
Beacon was supposed to be their adsense and look how that turned out. I don't doubt facebook's potential, but I do doubt that there's a switch that they're just waiting for some magic user count to flip.
- gojomo 18y ago...when Andreesen said that? About 10 days ago, in the Charlie Rose interview. TechCrunch has a transcript: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/20/andreessen-on-charlie-rose-i-am-creating-a-fund-full-video/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/20/andreessen-on-charlie-r...
