1) What is your opinion on Facebook becoming public?
I think it is the logical progression for the company. I have confidence that the leadership at Facebook will continue to make the right product decisions and innovate despite becoming public.
2) How is that going to change as far as advertisements?
Facebook will continue to innovate in terms of ad products. Becoming public may increase the speed in which they enter mobile and display outside of Facebook.
3) Now that Facebook has become public could it end up like Myspace, bought for 522 million and sold for 35 million?
Not a chance. Facebook is a very different business in a very different time. Facebook has built an extremely large and accurate social graph – in addition to being very disciplined about their product and the way they treat users.
I appreciate your time and response Mr Hussein.
Thanks again,
Jaime
