Just to clarify, eMarketer's estimate of $265 million for Facebook is for advertising revenue only, and for the US only. We made this forecast back in May 2008, before the current economic downturn. We'll be issuing a new social network ad spending update soon.

TC tends to exagerate, everybody knows that, but the problem at FB is real.

They can't raise money at the last valuation, and even then it would be like a kick in the butt for the last investors, who would feel (righteously) offended for such a move.

I would like to know why FB needs the 400+ employees it has right now.

On the revenue side of things, even with the optimistic goal of 300M for 2008 that would still be 100M short of the 400M in costs, and if most of those numbers are right then most of the 500M in funding is gone then there's no way to cover those expenses, not without some sacrifices.

TC is just fishing for a good story. We have been making servers for our own use and it costs about 1/3rd of the market price of equivalent servers. It is not that costly with Google's model of expendable consumer grade machines being used as servers.

FaceCrunch? …

Read on Techmeme this morning that Facebook is tapping the markets – in Dubai. TechCrunch ran some numbers of its estimated cashflows – so I’ve set those against a reported revenue of c $300m pa and a starting bank balance of $240m, about 50% of what …

Servers just aren't that expensive. There's no way they would account for costs at the level TC is speculating about.

Good one, TC has no idea what it's talking about.
