Facebook has alot of members but so did Myspace. A year ago this guy and his tech company went public so they could get more money and time to find ways not to make money. Pundits thought that this company would be the biggest thing since AT@T. It has never reached close to the original IPO price which was a measly 38 dollars a share. This media hype company only has so many members because of the hype and I wonder how many of their accounts are in fact spam and fake. Revenues are slowly increasing for now but at what rate will have it to rise before the very user gets annoyed by the new facebook dedicated to extracting dollars from its users. It is only a matter of time that people will be alienated by endless advertising on Facebook. facebook is selling out its customer base for advertisers to reach and one of the reasons social media is popular because it is an escape from the United States of Advertising that can be found on television and so much of the real world. People flock to facebook to play games and keep in touch with friends not to see the latest offering of toothpaste from fucking crest. Mark Zuckerburg of all people should realize this.
