I just wrote a post on AdScam talking about how Facebook has been canceling the accounts of heavy users. Now I read in the San Jose Mercury, that Venture capitalist Jeremy Liew claims Facebook will make about $35 million from the sale of virtual gifts this year, equating to roughly 10% of the sites $300-$350 million annual income. Earlier in the year, Liew pegged virtual gift revenue at $15 million, following an analysis over a seven-week holiday period. Personally, I think that sending virtual Martinis and Teddy Bears to people you probably wouldn't give the time of day to in real life is a joke. Not to mention a reflection of the state of mankind today. You want to send someone a gift... Get off your *** and do it for real. Failing that, sign up for SecondLife and live the remainder of your pathetic existence in cyberspace!
Fookin' RIGHT our George !
