Great article.

The last sentence is what I thought when I first heard about this: "The one sure thing you can tell from this is that Facebook clearly can't self fund itself enough for what it needs, even on $2bn turnover a year."

It will be really interesting to see some actual, real-life numbers from Facebook regarding their profit/loss/revenue/expenses. My guess is that we will soon enough.



This is what I thought too- they can't be profitable if they are raising more money. But then I read it wasn't Facebook selling equity, but early investors selling their private shares.

So maybe Facebook is not getting the cash infusion.
