And?

Doesn't anyone remember the Dot.Com bust?

There numerous start up companies went through the IPO process and millions of dollars were generated on future business development. And, much like facebook, their owners and employees became millionaires overnight. Those who were able to get out earily made money. Those who rode the stock down didn't.

There is a difference between some dot.com companies. Some actually produced a marketable product that others used and still use to make more money. Facebook on the other hand produces nothing but “buzz” and who will still want to actively discuss 2012 buzz in 2022?

And facebook continues to persist in forcing Timeline on its users. No one likes Timeline. My teenage nieces and nephews and my twenty-something children all abhor it.

Zuckerberg picked a bad time to force an obnoxious change on the FB users. Ooopsie.
