I’m sometimes confused about tech stock – I don’t see how FB is worth 100billion – this is all generated by possibly hype?
Another tech stock which will lose % in the future?I guess FB has other projects in the pipeline, silly if it didn’t – it has a saturation point of users which it will reach at some point, but before then it needs to look at investing in other technology or areas which will give it continued $$ growth.
FB’s core business is advertising on its site, for advertisers are they going to get value for spend. If you talk to a lot of guys already, its not there.
I think FB is intelligent, in that it tries to get apps creators to use FB currency system (not sure if that’s still the case). FB also tells its big spenders, that if you want bang for buck, don’t send your traffic from FB to your site, but to a FB page, where they say you will get better benefit and return. FB is trying to keep all traffic within FB, rather then having it go off site. Keep it in the family.
The less a person spends on FB, the less advertising they can show, the more you browse, navigate, check profiles, pages, play apps – the more chances FB has to show advertising to you.
All super insightful Rak- and dead on.
The key element here… FB makes money by all of the time that is spent on the page- through advertising and obviously the key demographic data they are hoarding in.
Honestly, it makes even more sense for them to be rolling out on-page gambling in some way, shape or form… Just all in a matter of time I think…
