Facebook Financials leaked...

I finally got my company to $0 debt this year, but damn my revenue/profit do not even come into the same zip code as Facebook. It is amazing how much money can be made with a simple idea, even if poorly implemented.

And the funny thing is, it wasnt really an original idea. He just took the concept of Myspace, stripped out the page customizing bullshit, and focused on the socializing, which is really what people wanted. Cleaned up the interface, people stormed the fortress like mad.

LOL at the linked article within that one. They call this a mansion?

Seriously? It's price tag may be staggering, but to call that a mansion is drama and hype at it's best. In many places between the coasts that would be worth 1/10th that cost. Hell, I live in a 5000 sq/ft home that only cost $340k to build.

His place isn't a mansion...this is a mansion:

Yup. Nothing there is private. You make a comment you like your iphone? ADS! Ads for every fucking thing ever related to Apple.

They copied Googles business model and it works really damn well.

The main thing was that it was exclusive (edu) at first, which is the only reason why I signed up.

What is little known is the underground hidden batcave and 40 car garage.
 
They also make a shit ton off games.

Shit they take 30% off the top of Zynga's revenues more or less. Same with other game developers on Facebook. Surprisingly a bunch of people spend money on that shit.

Reportedly, Facebook is set to make $400million off of Zynga this year alone. Keep in mind they aren't really doing shit to earn this money.
