Facebook Money
In the article "How Does Facebook Make Money?" the author explained how advertising makes up almost all of Facebook's profits. I have been wondering how they could possibly make so much money because of the fact that it is inherently not a money making money. Much to my surprise it is almost ALL from advertising on the right hand side of the page. It doesn't seem like people would actually click on those ads but apparently they must. I wonder if this is the reason the stock didn't do as well as it was thought it would do- people thought the same thing I did.

I too read this article and was surprised by the amount of money Facebook is making from advertisers. Like you said some people must be clicking on the links or even looking up the information on the ads off of Facebook. They knew what they were doing with Facebook and I am sure there is more in-store for users as technology continues to change and improve.
