FB CEO to hold on to his shares for a year.

That ought to instill confidence to spooked investors. Laughable to say the least...

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?

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.

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.
