How the hell can Facebook be worth $50 billion

I guess I'm just old fashioned Neal....

Fair play the guy's smart but to be of real value you need to create something tangible.....

I'll go back to my cave now...

Don't worry Xabba, I'm decidedly anti-Facebook. I am actually rather proud of the fact that I do not have an account.

EDIT: I don't begrudge anyone who does have an account, though. My wife has one, and she likes it very much.

FB accounts are OK - once the novelty wears off, the privacy issues settle down, and those pesky restraining orders are lifted...

In honesty, I was very grateful to have access to so many people who were involved in my mother's life after I went off on my own in '90. I went off on my way, and tended to not look back - and I've discovered that I missed a neat person. She made life better for a lot of people, and I never would have known that were it not for access to those people via FB.

I've been able to reconnect with old friends, make a few new ones, all without drama. There can be actual adults on FB.
