		<description>Facebook, without a good profitable revenue model, it is bound to die fairly quick.  Consumers aren&#039;t willingly to pay for social networking service because of the many free social networking service out there.  Social networking with intrusive banner ads or ad words will also be infringing upon the user&#039;s interaction when there&#039;s already other news information that&#039;s cluttering the news feed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think, given about 2 years time, Facebook will shrink and their business will fall flat .</description>

		<description>Without a silver bullet business model like adwords they will come under pressure to increase the inventory. FB is almost ad-free at the moment compared to MySpace. I have seen bigger banners start to creep in, question is how the users will react after having got used to a low-ad environment.</description>

		<description>John, I agree. I don&#039;t think Facebook&#039;s idea of doing an employee stock sale is such a bad idea -- although some investors reading this site would probably disagree. Not sure how a sale would go over for Facebook or any other private company these days, though.</description>

		<description>Private company valuations usually have a qualitative element. Facebook is doing enough other interesting stuff at this point (like Connect) that I almost don&#039;t want to see them heavily refocus on revenue. Tough times would mandate a focus on revenue, though, it would seem.</description>

		<description>What Zuck really means is:  We don&#039;t want to lower our overly inflated valuation by letting you people sell.  There is a risk that free markets would work and re-value the company based on the revenue it is actually bringing in instead of on our sheer number of non-paying users.  Instead of letting you--the people who built my company--make a little profit now, I&#039;m going to roll the dice again until we all go down like etoys.</description>
