Really now…Is Facebook too Evil for Coke…or is Coke just too stupid for not paying the lousy few billion for Facebook when they could ? Isn’t stupid more dangerous than evil? I think Ben Stein is funny, at least in Ferris Bueller. Hard to picture him as smart or as writing for the NY Times, …

Did Facebook Peak?
Likely in many ways. Not traffic for sure, not in consuming the blogosphere discussion. UPDATE – I did not have the right words, but Fred does as to why it’s not from Privacy backlash alone . If you think it’s just this you should check out our Wallstrip shows on Equifax and Fair Isaac. They …
Facebook Becoming Evil?
The stakes have become very high for facebook at a $15 billion valuation. Someone is going to get hurt. They are walking a very fine line trying to successfully monetize in the face of a Microsoft investment and bankers up the wazoo. Doc Searls does a good job outlining the recent issues of privacy and …

Social Networks…Why Not Undervalued?
New York Magazine has a ANOTHER Web Bubble 2.0 feature story this week , in which John Heilman now calls me a ‘clever dude’, but out of context negative (this from the magazine that wrote the most scathing Wallstrip review to date ….As Borat says…..niiiiice). That review is an awesome read now that we have …
Deep market Thoughts…From NEW YORK…Post Facebook and Mucho Earning Reports
I feel smarter when I am here. Alive. Maybe because it’s more likely I will be shot, knifed or hit by a stray cab. In Phoenix, it’s a random wild pack of coyotes or renegade scorpion that could do me in…not likely. It could be the protein from all the sashimi or carbs from the …
