A hundred billion dollars as a market value for a network like Facebook is a lot. That's a lot of references, which have to be produced by those 845 million members in the coming years. The big question is whether we have the time to first experience that enormous amount of experiences (book, trip, film, clothes, concert) and then also to comment on them. And if we did manage to find the time to praise en masse, haven't we slowly become immune to a feather? The future conversations on Facebook are worth money, but a hundred billion? That's a lot of blue tongues.
