    Facebook's new high-growth market: kids? Facebook (FB) is apparently developing technology that would let the under-13 set use the site with parental supervision, a move that could explode Facebook's user base while outraging some privacy advocates. It's unclear when or if FB will roll out the service.

  • Sounds like Myspace to me. Good night FB, your time is nearing an end. I feel bad for the people who hoped to hold FB stock for their lifetime and become millionaires.

    FB seems to be missing the bigger picture. A big user base isn't the problem. Turning that user base into a revenue and income stream is the problem. You can theoretically have every person on the planet signed up for FB and still bring in zero dollars. Eventually companies will realize that paying for ads on FB is not returning anything.
