We all know that Mark Zuckerberg has enough money to wipe his ass with hundred dollar bills, but apparently Facebook is under dispute as to how many Billions of dollars the company is actually worth. Forbes magazine has listed Facebook as being worth more that $50 Billion. Analysts are saying that that is just a crock, Facebook's worth should be measured by its ability to last in the ever-changing world of the Internet. Typically, Facebook should slowly fizzle out, taken over by the next big thing. Facebook did it with Myspace, BeBo, and Friendster; and the nature of the beast says that something else should be coming along that will wipe out Facebook. The thing is, Facebook is going on seven years now and is only getting stronger. We all may remember getting our first Facebook page, but none of us know of, or are even hearing about something better. I only had a Myspace page for two or three years before it got stupid and I made a Facebook. The fact is, Facebook is still where it's at! I don't get messages from soliciting companies every day on facebook, and the security of Facebook does not allow nearly as much crap to float around on their site. I'm not saying that Facebook is here to stay, because it's not. Facebook will eventually die and something else, that we will create, will be the thing that our children obsess over. It is inevitable with the internet and there is only one thing that we can hope Facebook never decides to do to make a little extra cash: sell all of the information that we have very willingly given them over the past seven years....
