Anyone thinking about investing in FaceBook?

[aproxaday]

To date big advertising hasn't bought into facebook because they see it for what it is, where people go to fuck around.

A question: does anybody here either go to Facebook or end up on Facebook when you're looking to research a model of car to buy?

Until this changes, adverstisers will be wary.

This is very true. People only use Facebook for cheap entertainment.

Big advertising hasn't bought into Facebook because large companies are notorious for being slow to adapt. Hell, most big advertisers aren't even using ANY online advertising yet.

Facebook is social. The majority of people make decisions based on social influence. Wickedfire members are likely an exception to that rule, but most here are more independent thinkers than the majority of people.

Facebook is at its peak now and will be almost obsolete in 5 years or less. It will go the way of others before it like Bebo, Friends Reunited and MySpace.

I think that's way short-sighted. Facebook is way more integrated into the fiber of the entire internet than any of those things could have ever hoped to be.

I was into stock a few years ago.

I think you're better off to invest in yourself. Don't put your money in someone else's hands and hope they do the "right" thing.

Facebook is indeed at its peak. It will go down.
