Facebook.

Microsoft’s gone crazy.Valuing facebook at $15 billion?!. The website was just started 3.5 years ago, it’s just completely astounding and mind-boggling.Who the hell at Microsoft came up with such a valuation.

I need my own website, this is depressing. :frowning:

Re: Facebook.

Re: Facebook.

valuation to buy out..

Re: Facebook.

15 billions Damn! Just few months back I read something somewhere that they rejected $850 million or something.

Re: Facebook.

omg! $15 billion :eek:

this reminds me of flickr (started by a couple) which was bought by yahoo for $ 1.8 milion, after an year of its launch.

I wonder how much is myspace worth.

Re: Facebook.

:O

Re: Facebook.

definitely a huge incentive to think up ideas for my own cool website!!

chaching

Re: Facebook.

But $15 Billion?! ... It's a freaking website that is based on a fad, when the fad's over, website goes kapoot.

To put into context, Myspace was BOUGHT OUT by Fox News corp for $580 million, no doubt it's worth alot more now, Fox made a good investment.But Microsoft? ... I guess they just wanted to snub Google, kinda pathetic.The only real happy person here is Zuckerberg, who had guts not to take a billion from Google earlier this year.

Re: Facebook.

At a $15,000,000,000.00 evaluation you'd have to be wondering what type of ploy they're pulling. Someone somewhere believes this site will stay cool for a century. Yeah right.

Anyway, remember kids: go to Harvard. Then drop out.

I hope it isnt sold to Micr0sh!t!
