Facebook Inhaber keeps cool

Fortune Technology über Mark Zuckerberg (21), Inhaber von Facebook.com, dem momentan heissesten Social Networking Anbieter in den USA, spezialisiert auf Studenten/Schüler :

The whole scene is a bit too 1999 for a dot-com veteran. But Zuckerberg (who was, of course, just hitting puberty back then) appears blissfully unaware of the clichés around him. He“€™s also preternaturally levelheaded“€”or coy. The word on the street is that his site could sell itself for hundreds of millions of dollars right now. But Zuckerberg is having none of it. „€œI know that Facebook“€™s valuation is higher now than it will be a year from now,„€? he says, suggesting that mammoth buyouts of companies like MySpace and Skype have blown air into a new Internet bubble. „€œBut I don“€™t care. I suspect it won“€™t be this high for four years. I“€™m in this to build something cool, not to get bought.„€?

Warum soll die Seite so viel wert sein?

What“€™s so cool about Facebook? With six million members, it has become the website for in-the-know college and, more recently, high school students. Zuckerberg and some friends started the site in 2004 at Harvard, which previously didn“€™t have a face book… Facebook now has users at 2,027 college campuses as well as some 22,000 high schools. Two-thirds of its users come back to the site every day, trolling through profiles of classmates and their friends. Facebook engineers recently added the ability to upload additional pictures; within weeks 15 million photos appeared.
