On September 23, 2010 Facebook had its worst outage in years. The site went down for several hours, & almost took the Internet down with it. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/09/23/130080720/facebook-crashes-apparently http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/23/facebook-down-users-repor_1_n_736935.html http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2010/09/24/schmidt-on-colbert-facebook-down http://mashable.com/2010/09/23/facebook-down-again/ Facebook Groups & Lists FACEBOOK LAUNCHED GROUPS AND LISTS Problem: Nobody used it. The features were rolled out well after people had already friended people they knew – and who wants to go back and re-categorize everything? Later this month they rolled out "Smart Lists" which automatically put people into "circles"? It's just a face to Facebook's Edgerank, which is the sensor which tells Facebook what's important and what is not and it's filtered by these "circles." Circles...

Goldman bankers burned up the phone lines in the first week of January, pushing many of their best American clients to invest in the deal. And then, on Sunday and Monday, those same advisers were on the phone with those same clients with some bad news. They wouldn't be getting any Facebook shares after all. Goldman Hey Client, you should buy this facebook stock before they go public. Yes, do put me down for 2 Million Dollars worth won't you? Sachs No. Sorry about that. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703954004576090440048416766.html?mod=wSJ_hp_LEFTWhatsNewsCollection http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-clients-pissed-off-about-cancelled-facebook-deal-2011-1 Facebook's Revenue FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2011, FACEBOOK MISSED THEIŘ EARNINGS GOAL BY 25%. 500 million dollars Seems like a lot, considering they are the social juggernaut of the world. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-may-have-missed-revenue-projections-by-500-million/3500 IN JUNE 201ı Facebook lost 6 million active users in the US.
