QUOTE (Lancifer @ Mar 29 2006, 09:37 AM) well, myself and others could program and reproduce the facebook code in less than one month for 10k the thing that makes facebook worth 750 million to 1 billion dollars is it's huge base of millions of people in the 18-25 age range this range is the hardest for advertisers to reach, and having a website that millions of people in this age group visit at least once a day is worth 1 billion to advertisers not to mention that as new kids go to college the facebook base automatically renews itself, it's every advertisers wet dream you're not thinking about this from a business perspective 1 billion i can understand, 2 billion is ridiculous yeah but code has nothing to do with it. code never has anything to do with this type of stuff. nobody ever invents some revolutionary new code, it's basically just who comes up w/a catchy name and gets millions to view their site. What i'm askin is why 1 billion is acceptible and 2 billion is outrageous |

1 billion is only 250 million dollars more than 750 million (what one company already offered)
i could see another media company upping their offer by 250 million just to reap all the advertising benefits what i can't see is a company doubling that and paying 2 billion, the money would be better spent on r&d, making their own site, and advertising it on tv |

yeah, but a television add is cheaper.
2 billion dollars is way too fucking much money. and what are you talking about if you can pay 1 billion ...why not 2? I dont know if you noticed but we are talking about an additional BILLION (not million...BILLION) dollars. |

I'm curious how much money the developers are making currently. I thought I heard that the site was created by a small group of people- but who knows how many make up the facebook team by now. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

I'm curious how much money the developers are making currently. I thought I heard that the site was created by a small group of people- but who knows how many make up the facebook team by now. The team is still fairly small, you can read occasional postings about the happenings at Facebook at this guy's site: http://avalonstar.com He is the visual guy and sometimes has post about different things at Facebook. I believe I read an article that the infrastructure is similar to Google's philosophy, keep it cheap and continue to expand. Google's server room is a collection of old and new servers and when more power is needed, another server is plugged in. I doubt Facebook has more than 20-25 servers with a few database servers. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
