ReplyDeleteFacebook hasn't really changed my life, it's jut a social network, a tool for young people to get fresh information about their singers, news, things they like and friends activity. As well we can use it for communicating, sharing information and pictures with our friends, it a way to meet another people and for the companies to make publicity.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's worth 100$ billion dollars for the stock of the company, because even if facebook it's the most popular social media in the world, and it's a great business to invest in publicity or others, i believe is a media that will be overcome in a couple of years by another one. Facebook is just a mode and people will eventually get bored of it. I think facebook is a great business in the present but an increase of 100$ billion dollars it's just too much money it's not a worth it.

Facebook like a poison to me, I have to log on it everyday, to see what happend to me friends, and I also have to spend times on it to update mine,Facebook makes social easier just online, but it also make people lazy.
ReplyDeleteI do not think it is worth the $100 billion dollars , just read the numer of the price, do you believe it?Just one website, is it worth so much? The price just like house, if the price is racing more higher more people want to buy it, once the price fall down, the money will gone suddenly, it is just a bubble.
I thinks that Facebook is a good resource. It help me to communicate with my friends and family, and people that I miss a lot.But at the sometime, I thing that Facebook is a way to lose value time. I prefer do not use it regularly. Sometimes Facebook has a lot things that are not important. On the other hand, if the owns of Facebook can make money with it, good for them!

Good thing is Facebook makes people stay in touch easier, of course, including me. Because of this, some people spend lots of time online but they don't actually know how to communicate with PEOPLE. I agree with Facebook is worth the $100 billion dollars. Now everybody uses it, you can think about how much profit Facebook can make from advertisement/commercial. Also, I think Mark Zuckerberg is a wise man (obviously), he can see the future what we can not see.

The first paragraph talked about Facebook(A social network) want to raise their share price. Facebook wants to raise from $28 and $35 a share to $34 and $38 a share. This news also talked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and he started Facebook eight years ago while he was a student at Harvard. The last part talked about a survey shows Facebook is a passing fad, and that its stock price is too high. I think this newspaper is a little difficult to me. Randy
