Facebook's Vision Nets 100 Million Users

'Carefully groomed' site beats 'the chaos that is MySpace,' may mean $

(NEWSER) - Facebook has just crossed the 100-million-user plateau, and it’s more notable than when MySpace achieved the feat 2 years ago, Stan Schroeder writes on Mashable. First of all, Facebook says it counts only active users, unlike its rival. But more importantly, Facebook has a vision of how to cater to and expand its user base—and how to make money. More»

Facebook Stock Falls Below $30

Social network sees 20% plunge since IPO

(NEWSER) - Facebook shares continue to plummet: They've now dropped more than 20% from their $38 IPO price, falling below $30 today to their lowest point yet, reports Reuters . At about 12:45pm EDT they were trading at $29.44. But among tech stocks, $30 per share still gives it a comparatively "generous" valuation, notes Dan Gallagher at MarketWatch : The site is trading at about 55 times its estimated earnings for this fiscal year. Google, on the other hand, trades at about 14 times its estimated earnings, and Apple, IBM, and Microsoft are in the same ballpark.

New End-of-Life Planning: Social Media Wills

Feds want you to plan what happens to your online profile

(NEWSER) - Social networking has already changed our lives; now, officials want us to consider its implications after our death. On its blog, the US government is calling on Americans to create "social media wills," which detail our wishes for the future of the huge range of online accounts we all have these days. Email and Facebook are just the beginning: The average person has 25 password-protected accounts, a law professor tells Mashable . About half a million Facebook users reportedly died last year.

No, Facebook Isn't Creating a Nation of Lonely Souls

Slate essayist disagrees with cover story in 'Atlantic'

(NEWSER) - The Atlantic's cover story is a much-discussed piece by novelist Stephen Marche, who concludes that Americans in the age of Facebook "have never been more detached from one another, or lonelier." It's strong stuff, but it's just the latest entry in a long list of articles and books on the theme that are "built on fables and fantasies," writes Eric Klinenberg at Slate . There's "zero evidence" to support Marche's claim that Facebook in particular and social networking in general are producing a "new isolation." More»
