Nurredin,

Just because you didn't click on a Facebook ad does not mean others did not. To compare Facebook model to newspaper direction is outrageous at best.

Facebook advertising sits on top of a social infrastructure, one of the most powerful base available for marketers. Their content is more segmented, more intimate and measurable than any other medium out there for advertising/marketing. Please disagree if you can, I'll like to see the attempt.

Facebook profit model is more scalable than a search engine, if not obsolete the search engine model altogether for primary information retrieval and first destination…

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. When was the last time you clicked on a Facebook ad and made a purchase? This is a Bernie Madoff type setup. The people at Facebook are trying to hype an IPO so they can cash out and leave the suckers with worthless paper. A privately held company can say anything about profits and cash flow and not have to prove it. When the advertisers realize Facebook is 300 million people doing a WHOLE lot of nothing,it's going to collapse. The question is whether the collapse comes before or after the IPO. NO ONE is going to pay a dime for a Facebook page. NO ONE is buying anything. So where's the profit coming from? Facebook is depending on advertising dollars just like the newspapers are. We all know where newspapers are heading. Facebook's profit model is no different. They're not going to replace Paypal, that's a big joke! So if income is solely based upon advertising, the job isn't getting done! When the Russian money runs out, Facebook is toast. I ask you again, when was the last time you bought something from an ad on Facebook? I rest my case.
