What I've been praying for, to learn what Facebook's business plan is,
will be finally answered!
In 3 years, once Mark Zuckerberg figures it out.

Silicon Alley Insider: Zuckerberg: Facebook Will Have A Business Plan
In Three Years
If you've had a nagging suspicion that Mark Zuckerberg really doesn't
know how he'll turn Facebook into a business, wonder no more. You're
right. Here he is talking to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung:
'What every great internet company has done is to figure out a way to
make money that has to match to what they are doing on the site. I
don't think social networks can be monetized in the same way that
search did. But on both sites people find information valuable. I'm
pretty sure that we will find an analogous business model. But we are
experimenting already. One group is very focused on targeting; another
part is focused on social recommendation from your friends. In three
years from now we have to figure out what the optimum model is. But
that is not our primary focus today.'
If you're counting, three years from now would be nearly 7 years since
Mark (and others) started Facebook at Harvard, and four years since
Microsoft plowed $240 million into the company.
