FWIW, I would not call it swindling taxes just like no one calls it swindling taxes when a person utilizes gift tax exemptions during their lifetime to minimize inheritance tax when they die. He is attempting to play by the law as it is set out, nothing wrong with that.

I wasn't even getting into the merits of FB or how FB was founded. I just don't think that the one guy becoming an ex-pat should be considered in anyway swindling.

Like I've been saying, we are about to see FB break the seal on ads for mobile FB, which is a gigantic source of ad revenue that they have left completely untouched.
We'll see how that goes.
The IPO raised a ton of cash for FB so they won on the $38 price but it was too high too.
$23 to $28 is probably a good place for it to settle and then we'll see what it does. It only held $38 Friday because it was floated by the underwriters so it's gonna find it's real price now.

I had an order in before opening Friday, tried my hardest to cancel it, but couldn't. I've lost some cash to say the least. I got in at $42 was looking to make some quick change, but now it looks like a long term investment.

And what it means is I can lose that 500 or whatever and it not bother me. Because where I'm at financially allows that. Others maybe not so much, possibly the reason they didn't buy any FB shares. If I didn't have other funds earmarked for other things I would invest that capital as well. asswipe

What I like about your investment is that Facebook is a product that many people are addicted to. It's not just a fad or trend, but it's become ingrained in people's everyday routines. As long as Facebook has the hold on the people, it has great potential to create revenue from those people. I don't see Facebook losing a huge chunk of its users anytime soon.
There are countless amount of ways facebook could make more money off its users; the trick will be for Facebook to exploit its users as smoothly as possible without causing waves of discontent.

Google bought its way into Mobile. Facebook has shitty apps that provide limited functionality currently.
Mobile Search and Mobile Ads are wars that have yet to be won. I think FB holds all the cards.

After advertising, a user fee (which would kill it, imo) and selling users' preferences to vendors, what are the other ways?

It has already begun, but Facebook can basically become the "portal" through which people access the internet and everything they do on the internet. Instead of having to login everywhere you go, your facebook would be the only username and password you would need.
If facebook wanted to, it can start offering its own services already provided by other websites like ebay, dating, gaming, hulu, message boards, news, networking, etc. It could become a "one stop shop" for internet users who spend most of their time on facebook anyway and who would appreciate the ease and functionality of not having to register for every new website with a new username and password. Facebook users would be able to facebook chat and receive facebook notifications on the same webpage that they do everything else on the internet, so there would be no need to go "check" your facebook for updates.
Once people believe they need or really want facebook as a "one stop shop" for the internet, just how so many believe they need facebook now for their social lives, they will be willing to pay for its services IMO.
Not saying this is going to happen, but I see the potential there if that's where it wants to go.

Not likely, imo. Google has become the only company that is even close to a "one stop shoo" of the internet, and they are still pretty far off (from being a one stop shop). Facebook will never compete with google, much less netflix, hulu, ebay, amazon, yahoo, etc... all at the same time.
Also, the only way they could do this is a subscription service. As others have said, a subscription based facebook will kill FB.

If the search function on this site was worth a damn, you could search "one-stop shop" on this board and find probably close to that exact same post from 2 years ago, 3 years ago, and probably 4 years ago.

google search ftw. just did, and there are some interesting threads from the past with "one-stop shop" in them...
eta: and all its doing is investing in a chance that facebook will become more than what it is currently. like jon ham said, it has the chance. just like those that invested in google was taking a chance, my investment in facebook is hoping for that

All these websites you listed have serious competition in each of their markets, whereas Facebook owns social networking. I would never expect facebook to roll out competing services with all these websites at the same time, but more like a slow evolution.
Also, people don't typically need to visit netflix everyday, or amazon or ebay, but they do need to check their facebook everyday if not multiple times a day or constantly throughout the day.
I know I use google almost everyday, but it will be a lot easier for facebook to incorporate e-mail and a search function than it will be for google+ to win over a big chunk of facebook users.

People will pay for what they want. A lot of people already want FB, and there is potential for even more reasons for people to want to use it.

step back boys, we got a big leaguer on our hands. just think when it goes down to $16.50 you can buy 26 shares for the same amount.

Its no coincidence that the facebook threads are congregating around the Iraqi dinar thread. Cream always rises to the top.
