If your plan is to get Danny's Facebook too, it's not gonna happen. Keep dreaming Iain.
Yeah, I prefer facebook way more. A lot less drama. Then again I think I only have two people on mine right now.
I think it's MySpace's "top friends" although facebook has got it now too (as a third party program).I dont get it. Why? I am on both and I find them relatively the same.

It's the people who are offering to buy it for that price that says it is worth $15B.I really question if Facebook is really worth $15 billion dollars. Just because the guy that designed it and owns it says it is, to me that doesn't mean crap.
You can be sure that Microsoft's paper pushers went over Facebooks accounts pretty well.
Estimated 50 billion users..with an alleged 200,000 new members each day, make this an advertisers dream.
Sure, the best form of advertising is word of mouth..ie..Ferrari are a household name..but don't really advertise as such.(Questionable i realize) But at the end of the day its all a case of numbers. If i were to sell door to door, i would know that 1 in 10 may buy. I read that each Facebook user represents around $300, very possibly as a result of buying initiated by adverts on there site.
The bubble may burst at some point, but i'm sure the accountants etc, will do there up most to work the environment to the maximum first.
Probably because I just know a lot more people on myspace. It's been really weird. I even had one bitch stalking me (I even deleted my account and made a new one and kept it private, and she still found me - not to mention showed up at a couple of places I was). She was obviously much older than she said she was, and photoshoped her display pics because she was fucking gross. I could tell a bunch of stories, but it would take forever. And I've only got 2 people on facebook, and one of them is a girl I meet on myspace, so I imagine that would get dramatic too (but I will hope not).
50 billion users eh? That's more than 5 times the population of the Earth. Facebook is awesome!!
I know more people on Myspace too. Plus its easier to browse peoples profiles. However, Ill bet there are stalkers on both ends.
When I say "relatively the same," I mean, where one excels, the other falls back, and in other categories, its reversed.
I do not know why college use Facebook over one or the other though.

If it was such a good investment, why are they only buying $240 million worth of the $15 billion?
Does anyone actually read the ads on Facebook? I know I don't.
Just because everyone is buying into the hype does not mean it is really worth that. People and investors are lemmings and they will all follow each other over the Facebook cliff. They did it with the dot coms. People poured millions into little crappy websites that were nothing more than a server running some lame code in someone's garage. They had little if any revenue and almost no business plan but yet investors threw money at it because it was the cool trendy thing to do. Then within a couple years most of these sites just disappeared. Lots and lots of hype, these sites tend to oversell their worth and don't deliver.
The more popular and trendy an investment, the more likely it is all smoke and mirrors.
There are many possible answers to your first question, but it's likely it's because that's all Facebook was willing to sell to Microsoft at this time.If it was such a good investment, why are they only buying $240 million worth of the $15 billion?

Of course losing $240M is an issue for Microsoft at this time. To think otherwise is ridiculous.For Microsoft to lose $240 million, is not really an issue for them, at this point in time.
