Facebook IPO
- Thread starter JWIL4CY
- Start date
Exactly. Both offer products and services that can be charged for. Facebook's main push is that they have 900 million users, but that doesn't mean anything when none of those users are actually paying anything to Facebook. So the advertisers and developers need to decide how much to pay Facebook to access to those users. Google does sell advertising space but that is just one part of it's revenue, that is all of Facebook's revenue.
I think people can make money from Facebook in certain situations and given enough time. But IF Facebook is ever replaced like my space was the company goes away fast as does the value of any shares.
Zucherberg (sp?) has basically said they never will. Their next revenue appears to be coming from being able to buy apps within facebook.
Not sure what benefit that is but then again i'm not a big facebook user like my wife and others are.
Nothing new here but a summary of why the IPO fizzled:

This just chaps me to no end; where's the disclosure and transparency? As much as I consider myself a "capitalist", there's this kinda stuff that makes me want more regulatory pressure on the underwriters who keep milking joe public just to push their paper

The regulators won't do anything............they let Jon Corzine run wild and steal billions from people at MF Global - he's not even facing jail time. The regulators only like to pick on the little guy that can't fight back.

I don't think tipping is common practice, or even expected, in Rome. Certainly not like it is here.
It's included most times. Except for Americans , then they expect it, it seems.
I looked it up and 10%-15% is typical but sometimes it is included in your final bill. I also read that if you receive poor service that you can leave no tip.
