I have never seen a single ad using facebook. I don’t see how they make money.
Hurting the brand, and diminishing the value of their shares.
But at least they won’t learn anything.
I just went to facebook to look for these supposed ads... after a few minutes of looking... I think they are those things off to the right in that little collumn? lol
Seriously I have never ONCE looked at that.
This is the next bubble mark my words.
I just checked my business facebook page... and it doesn’t even have those ads!
lol
Anyone that pays a dime for facebook stock is an idiot.
You are exactly right. My wife loves FB as it allows her to stay in the loop with friends but they are pissing her off with the constant changes. My youngest son, 13, goes on almost daily to play games but my 15 year old daughter gets on about once a month, and my 18 year old son is on for 5 minutes a day max.
I see no long term large customer base here.
Similarily Zuckenberg’s IPO marked the high point of social medias economic potential

I try not to confuse the concept of social media with the products it has spawned, myspace and facebook two of the most notable products social media has spawned.
I don’t think social media will ever go away. I have no idea what it will look like next year or in the next decade, but I do believe it is a genie that cannot go back in the bottle.
JMO.
As someone who manages FB pages with well over 1 million fans, I can tell you for a fact: Timeline has DESTROYED Facebook. It is a gun to their head. It makes utterly no sense at all.
The success of a company is offering a group of produces and services. This is a one hit company. If they are bought out by a larger entertainment company the stock has a chance of going up.
“Zucker-punched” — from zerohedge.com
Underwriters manipulating stock. They should get Vince the ‘Shamwow guy’ to prop up their worthless stock.
Hype, media attention, and a way too gullible populace that believes anything they read/see/hear from our illustrious media....ethereal things like this are the 21st Century Ponzi Schemes.
You can probably attribute its wide-spread popularity and hope for value into two areas: user loyalty and use along with what I’d surmise were multiple ‘paid’ media articles and broker ‘talk-up’.....stupidity and payola if you ask me.
Timeline sicks. I can’t stand it, and no on else I know on FB can stand it either.
The format they had prior to that was great - I don’t know why they felt they had to go screw with a good thing.
Agreed. Used FB occasionally before the timeline feature was added. Now I hardly go to it at all.
You can buy PUT options on it.
You can buy PUT options on it.
I’m not on timeline as of yet...but am having problems posting...I think they are targeting me because I haven’t upgraded to timeline.
Now down 7.5%.
I signed up just to see what my kids were up to. They lived several hours away and would post to facebook after weekends. They didn’t understand or care this info was public - they do now. Now their posts are private or they have dropped FB.
