Facebook Search / what will happen to stock price after announcement?
Big announcement from FB coming up in ~1 hour, likely about details of FB search.
Patrick and I were having a discussion about this, and whether or not it will be effective/useful. What are your thoughts? How could they best tailor search for you to want to use it instead of other search engines?
IMO, data is their biggest asset, and if they push more connections with social sites such as yelp, urbanspoon, kayak etc where ppl connect their activity/opinions on those sites with their facebook account, and their data (ie your friends, and friends of friend data) is searchable by you, then there is a TON of potential there.
Obv privacy issues come up again with this so they have to be very careful how they do this..
Predictions on stock price at the end of day? Currently at 31 (11:57 am et)
At what price would you start betting against it? My stock advice guy is betting against it if it gets up to 33...






ha, interesting
ha, interesting advice...that's exactly what I said :-)
buying more puts if it bounces that high. pretty sure this annoucnement is about Search - Eddie thinks it's a phone but i say no way.

Everyone knows my opinion
Everyone knows my opinion already. But the only thing I'm worried about is them spewing some bullshit about mobile growth. If it's about Search or (what I think is very unlikely) a phone, I'll be happy. The dynamic of 'Facebook Friends' doesn't lend itself very well to actually coming up with legitimate suggestions for places I want to eat, travel to, etc. If someone has 800 friends and cares about probably 5% of those people, it screws the sample up, and honestly I'm not sure how much someone really wants that targeted bullshit that FB is going to come up with for them. Pisses me off though because you'll see another temporary pop in the price so long as they can pump whatever they're 'building' and people will go with it. Not that the business actually changes at all, especially for the better.

It's ok CNBC should have a special series about this at 8 PM EST.

K, here's where Zuckerberg says the best is yet to come.
Right now Graph search just focuses on people, photos, interests and places -- more down the line.
Bottom line- instead of having to search the Internet, people can search THEIR internet.
Who does this compete with? Google. No question.
Why search for a restaurant or hotel on Google if you can see where your Facebook friends have gone.

I don't see how facebook can
I don't see how facebook can meet revenue/growth expectation. They don't have anywhere to go to gain new users and their appeal with teens is fading quickly with new technology (SnapChat, Twitter, other crap) coming out all the time. I honestly think their demographic is slowly changing from college kids/teens to adults which will lead to a slow fall.
