Is Facebook as it currently stands viable in the long run? I guess we will see. My advice to Zuckerberg would be to stop putting revenue generation off though. People will eventually want to see significant financial returns from the organisation. To be honest, I don’t think that ‘growth’ constitutes a viable long term strategy.

Reminds me of the dot.com approach to business circa 2000. Not sure if it will work at a time global recession.

Clearly the additional functionality of the platform is fantastic from the user's perspective, but is this level of growth truly sustainable in the absence of a viable revenue model? I'm not sure.
