I didn't mean it that way. Their numbers are probably off, but they are valuing based off of page views and add revenue. Facebook is valued at $50 billion based on potential, not on current revenue.

SMH, never mind. It's not even worth explaining to you.

He doesn't quite have it right, but he's close. Facebook, assets and all, are the $50B mark. The site itself (directories, hosting, domain, etc.) is the $1.1B value.

Most valuations I've seen have it somewhere between 25 and 75 billion. Though the most recent I read was 60-75.

Related, Zynga (the company that makes Farmville and such) has been valued in the $10 billion range by some. Incredible.

I know they look at page views and such for ad revenue.

My questin is this.....who pays attentioni to the ads on webpages? I seriously blank out on adverstiesments on websites and radio and even tv. We can be watching a show and commmericals come on and someone will comment on the commercial and I will be like.....'huh....i didnt even pay attention'.

Not what advertisers wanna see but still

Goldman Sachs recently just made an investment of 500 million, accounting for approximately 1% of the company. Therefore, the valuation has to be around 50 billion.

You may not, but in actuality, people still do. Not like they used to, but they do.

I think the more and more we get inundated with ads in increasing numbers and different ways more people start to tune them out.

Just my thoughts.

I wonder what the best offer they would get today would be if they tried to sell the huddle? I would love to see how much less than what they paid it would be.

It's funny you mention it, because I know that I notice them from time to time (and trust me, I've been inundated with banners to the hilt), as they are usually "targeted" (related to the discussion at hand). If it's something I care about, I may click through. Actually, one of them on here was a non-profit political organization that will soon be a client of my employer ... all because I saw a banner for them on here. :D

Well then it is people like you who make the ads keep on coming!!!

Jokin of course....I think it is better than the alternative...to make everything pay sites and such.
