I’ve stumbled across an interesting article where author wonders why Facebook chooses not to make profit on ads from its huge user base. A while ago, I wrote about U.S. social networking sites falling behind their Asian counterparts when it comes to finding ways to monetize on traffic. Now it may seem like Facebook not only does not search for the right business model, but isn’t interested in doing it either. YouTube struggled with the same issue, but at least they spent millions on consulting trying to find it. It’s hard to believe in the conspiracy theory presented in the above article, but while observing such an enormous growth it’s hard not to wonder whether and when we will see more innovation going on in this area…
