Will Yahoo Buy Facebook
62Facebook and Yahoo, Will it happen?
- Facebook Value
Nice post about how much YouTube and Facebook are worth. He was off just $1 B with YouTube, but I suspect his valuation of Facebook is on the money. Time will tell. - How Much is Facebook worth?
If the YouTube brand + community is worth $1.65. How much is the Facebook brand + community worth? I suppose less than YouTube, but not that much. Scoble thinks Facebook's appeal is limited to college students, I think it's because of the medium. - Wall Street Journal Talks Get Bogged Down
Looks like progress is slow.
If Facebook wants $2B, like it has been reported, I suspect it will be a long wait. However, I could see Fox making a play for it. Apparently they were disappointed that YouTube didn't go for their offer. It would also be a nice way to graduate people from Myspace to Facebook, and then say maybe LinkIn. Kind of like a social network graduation.
While Yahoo wants to grow, and they don't like getting upstaged by Google, I think this deal will be hard to get done. My gut is Facebook will shoot to get to $100 M in revenues and IPO or get real close to it. If the margins are as good as some people say, then they could be a great cash flow business, but that's not likely to make their investors happy. These investors would rather sell for $700 M, which I still think is a great price for them. Time will tell.
