Re:Six steps to effective Facebook advertising at $0.01 CPC on Friday November 12, 2010 @04:22PM (#1899317)
Did Google Adwords have advertising opportunities like this back when it first started getting traction? Is it still possible to get impressions on bids this cheap for very long tail keywords in Google?

Would love to hear some input from someone more experienced than I.

Mobile verification, I would think. I believe gmail already requires this for new accounts.
The title of their article.
I think an interesting case here that will be affected here is how social circles were dealing that one stubborn Facebook holdout.

Before, there were two choices. Either move communication to email, or leave them out of the loop. Now the choice is easy, and it will all happen within Facebook.

A humongous step that Techcrunch is more than happy to make.

The point is that, in a scenario where their market cap reached 100B, we would not expect their revenue to remain stagnant between now and then.

"that would be 100x revenue"

They are already expected to make well over 1B this year. Why would that be the same a few years from now?
