Facebook grabs another $60m investment

Facebook grabs another $60m investment

Ok - so the $15bn valuation is holding up, according to Kara Swisher. Granted, when it comes to Chinese billionaires, and large software companies that put $240m in for less than 2%, it’s arguable that the valuations are not realistic. Heck, I think I was even the first person to predict that they would get a $10bn valuation.

For those of you who weren’t following the Facebook beacon fiasco - it’s become quite a nightmare for Facebook and they have already capitulated. Facebook needs to hire some seriously top notch Internet Marketers - and not make old school mistakes like this - I wasn’t impressed with the invasion of privacy either.

The $15bn valuation only holds true if they can crack Google Adsense (IMHO) - with moves like this, it doesn’t look good at all!
