Chicagohh Posts: 2 Incept: 2010-06-25 Chicago	That 8.7% rate for fake accounts is low. Social sites are gamed by Internet marketing professionals because social signals (Facebook likes, Tweets) are used by the major search engines to help identify quality websites. Once Google/Bing started using social signals the game was on. Facebook, Twitter etc.. have not done much to protect themselves. Who knows... maybe Google used those signals to kill off FB. Remember when JC Penney put their entire shopping cart on Facebook. LOL - what a joke. I have not met a single ecommerce expert that can track any level of significant sales to FB. Now... how is JC Penney doing? Last modified: 2012-08-02 17:56:27 by chicagohh Reason: JC Penney stuff 2012-08-02 17:53:14 Permalink

Now, it's the State of California, which apparently overestimated how much tax revenue it was going to collect from Facebook employees after the IPO. According to Bloomberg's John Erlichman, California is now saying its "tax revenue is at risk" because it assumed it would get $1.9 billion from newly enriched Facebook employees. ---------- So long and thanks for all the fish. 2012-08-02 18:10:12 Permalink

Poid Posts: 610 Incept: 2010-03-08	Quote: Do Facebook et al actually pay these sites to have those clickable icons or is there some other reason that these other businesses feel it's worthwhile to have them? There is a metric crapload of "consultants" out there making a buck by trying to convince everyone that social media is vital to their business and so they need to get with the program. Hell i've seen the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company make a presentation on the necessity of embracing "social media". A lot of companies seem to think its an opportunity. Personally i think there is limited opportunity (who would really "friend" their bank or insurer) and its more about the downside risk, which you control best through the usual means (good, happy employees, great product, great service). Face***ed really has a new meaning after this IPO, its the gift that keeps on giving haha 2012-08-02 18:18:37 Permalink*

Bruceallen123 Posts: 56 Incept: 2010-02-12	I will NEVER understand the fascination with Facebook. Hell, I remember when ICQ was the ***, and everyone went all nuts with MySpace, then Twitter, and eventually Facebook. A place that amounts to a big gossip fest, where everyone can air their dirty laundry and have endless pity parties. Have we, as a society, become this friggen' lame? 2012-08-02 18:35:22 Permalink*

End_the_bubbles Posts: 9515 Incept: 2009-03-25 The New 3rd World	Funny, I used the term "FACE**ED" with regard to Facebook in a post blasting it in January of 2011 (1 1/2 years ago). http://tickerforum.org/akcs-www?post=176.... I was also involved in some other discussions about how "investors" would get ass**d in this "wealth transfer" of an IPO - http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=1.... ---------- In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas.

Winstonsmith2009 Posts: 1060 Incept: 2009-08-05	But, but, but they're worth 100 BILLION!!! Suckers who don't even remember the hype of the dot.bomb era and read nothing but the WSJ deserve what they get. And this guy is an idiot: "And now that Facebook's stock has been cut in half since its May IPO, it's time to compliment the clever folks who sold when everyone else was convinced that playing the Facebook IPO was pretty much a sure thing. [snip] And now, the Facebook insiders who sold on the IPO look, well, savvy." http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-....

Mdporter Posts: 557 Incept: 2008-02-26 San Jose, CA	Quote: If I remember right, there is a 6 month waiting period before the employees can sell their shares...from what I can find, that's about 45 milllion shares that are just melting away in value and they can't sell....LOL! Insiders can get around that now by selling their shares on a private market I believe. I'm not sure how it all works but the odds for insiders have improved since the last bubble with new ways to unload the paper. 2012-08-02 19:29:59 Permalink
Poodlelover Posts: 143 Incept: 2012-02-02	Personally I think it has value at $10, maybe even $15 if you're really optimistic about its growth. There is no guarantee that in a few years it doesn't become irrelevant like myspace, though, and it does have a lot of challenges. It really is a hard stock to price--to a degree. The $38 IPO was obviously a total farce. I'm personally shocked linkedin is at $100/share. I know hardly anybody at all on it. 2012-08-02 20:14:47 Permalink

Crzymorse Posts: 1182 Incept: 2010-06-25 Maryland	Linkedin actually has a real business. It going to replace monster.com. Facebook on the other hand has no business. If you can get 50% of the US market to use it and still can't make money then something is really ***ed up with the business model. Its hard to get to a couple billion in revenue and not turn a profit. 2012-08-02 20:23:00 Permalink*
Granolageek Posts: 31 Incept: 2011-04-18 Banned	A well managed Facebook page can be worth it for an enterprise, just like a website. It's just that it doesn't make any money for Facebook. A post form a company I do business with can tweak me into buying something, from the company. Not so much any revenue for Facebook. 2012-08-02 20:32:59 Permalink
Irishblues Posts: 278 Incept: 2010-12-18 Wisconsin	Quote: FB will simply be another Friendster or MySpace. It's already headed in that direction. Despite the TOS saying "no sexual content" there are a slew of users and pages dedicated to that stuff - and growing every day. Throw on the fact that a lot of people I know have bailed on FB because of the incessant political crap and "here's something really cheesy, like it or it just shows you're a cold heartless bastard" stuff, and ... well, there's a growing difference between "number of registered accounts" and "number of active accounts actually belonging to real people." 2012-08-02 20:58:39 Permalink

Elkad Posts: 106 Incept: 2009-09-04	Everyone I know under the age of 50 has at least 3 Facebook accounts. I maintain 3. One with my real name, that is completely G-rated inane fluff. It's a decoy for employer, co-workers, etc. Carefully kept clean, complaint-free, non-political, etc. Another just for family communications, using my middle name and a fake hometown. A 3rd for e-friends, using a gaming handle. Not everyone maintains multiple accounts, but they all have them. Forgotten passwords, divorced so they made a new account, accounts for pets and toddlers, or just like to separate friends from family. ---------- "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.
