Thats the whole point isnt it?? The average FB user doesnt even realize he/she is a product, and the beauty of it is their children are also hooked on FB. Its like a gift that keeps on giving, if FB gets it right. They have your basic info and records of what companies or products you like, this is a marketers heaven.

@Nabwire good point, meaning that adverts will be custom made. But will those with the money fall for it? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Majority of the money lies at the bottom, the super rich dont fit into this model. Would you rather sell 5 items worth $1 million each, or a million items worth $10 each?? Plus dont forget the $10 item has repeat customers, the $1 million one not so much!!

I get your point. However, i wait to see the execution part of it. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Nothing is guaranteed though. Another company may come in and work the model better than FB.

Sadly those who bought fb bought a company that quoted its "future" worth rather than the present. But I see potential if and when it becomes a tool for making money.

As long as those ads cannot be targetted at mobile users (mobile phone access), I don't see FB turn out like Google. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Mark Cuban the owner of Dallas Mavericks b-ball team has a nice piece on his blog about FB. Investors that have thoroughly got burnt as this stock plunges into the pit since the IPO listing should blame themselves. The blog piece will annoy many since he's curt on the reality check. He also sees the stock sub $10 which is the same view I hold. Btw he lost money trying to trade the FB hype, so the article is very sobering  http://blogmaverick.com/...their-ipo-exactly-right/$15/barrel oil...

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg to bet more on mobile platform. Share performance disappointing. NB: 30+ Minutes of video so sit back, order your KK Shares and watch this interesting clip from the Disrupt SF interview by Arrington. Facebook CEO Marc Zuckerberg and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington Disrupt SF InterviewLive and learn; and don’t forget, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

1B users but lukewarm profits... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Hisah you are such a pessimist, show me one company that has I billion faithful clients, just one. Lukewarm profits yes, but when they institute buying stuff directly through FB , technically to get $1 billion in sales, all they have to do is get everyone to buy something worth $1. Ofcourse there are people who wont buy, but there are people who will spend way more than a dollar, compute those numbers, get the mean, standard deviation, expected values and voila. FB makes economic sense, but only if the model works. Get the users hooked on FB market/commerce, and the profits will flood in.

@Nabwire - yes am very pessimistic at this cia funded firm as well as very realistic about their lack of revenue generation from the large pool of users. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

If FB is funded by the CIA as you say, even more reason to own it, that means the thing is backed by the US govt, thats sweet money!!! If your assertions are true,they will never go bankrupt, the gava will just prop them up to infinity, but then ofcourse thats not the case. Ni vile tu umeniingisha baridi sana, otherwise my gut feeling says that FB is a buy.

Then see the matrix of the funding - http://y2u.be/oX-qoOPlTvg
All the best in following the money.
