Zuckerberg: Facebook Will Have A Business Plan In Three Years

I'm not going to make a comment on whether or not FB can be profitable... but here is some doom and gloom comedy if you believe we're in a monsoon of a shit storm:

Employers will cut staff, trim the fat, and leave only the super productive. Businesses will put a stop on productivity leaks, this means the 18-20 people on my FB buddy list (99% of which have graduated) at 1pm on a Thursday will have to call it quits, or lose their job.

College students will be faced with a credit squeeze, halt their $30-40 a month @home internet and return to using school provided connectivity, making them a far less connected market.

Fb traffic declines, advertising expenditures are cut... Fb and Pets.com become soul mates.

Just kidding... :)

OR... because the job market is in the crapper, kids will extend their college visits, giving them several more years to waste networking on sites like FB, thereby keeping FB's valuation high and their profits coming when the markets rebound just in time for their "revenue plan"

That assumes they have access to credit and loans to extend their hiatus. :)
