Founder of Bebo, sold it to AOL for $850m in 2008, recently bought it back for $1m



Wait, why'd he steal clips from Superbad for his commercial?

My rough math suggests $799 million reasons to keep the hair. How many do you have to suggest otherwise?

Wow, AOL must of drove it into the ground or the founder knew he was on the downstroke and decided to sell it.
 
You'd be a fool to think anything can go against monopolizing facebook atm, only other social network that can stand on its feet next to facebook is linkedin. Unless he got a real niche to target or something that appeals to humans specifically that everyone can't already get on either fb or linkedin, I don't see this going anywhere.

You think facebook is going to be on top forever?

Nothing lasts forever. Eventually facebook will fall. Not saying bebo or linkedin will be the ones to take facebook down, but someday, something else newer, cooler or just plain better will come along, start siphoning off users and keeping them.

FB has been punching themselves in the face for 6-7 months now.

As long as it isn't g+, I don't care who takes over.

People probably said the same thing about Google when Yahoo was on top... and Facebook when more people were on MySpace.

None of those sites ever had an active user base of over a billion. Look, say a site comes out and starts gaining momentum after a while because it connects people in a different way so it's appealing. How long do you think it'll be before facebook with all it's resources catches on and kills off/buys them out.
 
Facebook has integrated inself so well into society that it will be difficult for a competing company to take their place. You pass by every store, and all you see is like this, like that. Hell, even BMW has a special app dedicated just for Facebook.

Similarly, I also believe that Google will not be replaced. At this point, it will be grandfathered into the interwebs.
