Title: Facebook now valued at $50 billion
Post by: Elano on February 04, 2011, 01:25:42 AM

Facebook is now worth $50 billion to Goldman Sachs, thanks to a new deal in which the Wall Street megafirm and Russia’s Digital Sky Technologies invested $500 million in the social networking site, placing its valuation at $50 billion. Billion! The mind reels. That still puts it behind Google ($190 billion) and Amazon ($83 billion), but it’s ahead of eBay and Yahoo. And it’s about 20 times more than AOL.

every law enforcement agency/department local, state, and federal had administrator accounts on FB.



from a recent incident, man the cops knew everything, from our facebooks and from tailing us. they read every facebook posts, they knew the places we went to from the pictures we took (our favorite bars, resturants, etc etc)

its pretty funny, cuz my friend had no alibi and a facebook post at the time of the certain incident (because if he made a facebook post that wasnt from a mobile fone, it proved he wasnt at the incident at the time it took place) would of cleared him.


so yea, if ur in some legal trouble just watch out for fb. it can either help or hurt you.
