"Facebook has been pursuing an aggressive strategy, emphasizing growth in users over profitability. At the end of February, the company hit 275 million visitors worldwide, up from 100 million last February, according to the research firm comScore (SCOR). The company's revenues, estimated at from $250 million to $300 million last year, are growing, though almost certainly not as fast as its user count"

You look at figures like that and ask yourself how much bloat is there in the business to not be able to weather an economic downturn. If I can monotize effectively a website with 20 pages, why can't they do it with their users!
