Still earnings report as a public company and mom zucker -- was on the call so how did -- do.
Joining the company from San Francisco is tech watcher Robert Scoble -- -- give him a grade as a cold participant.
I give him a -- of may -- C plus.
-- he did not -- a new advertising network for mobile out on the market.
He did not get a new IOS -- out on the market Google has one already on its Google+ social network.
You know he he did meet expectations.
Of earnings but.
-- -- really when when we look at the numbers we expect a lot more than just you know flat earnings growth from this company.
What did he convinced people that he's -- -- his investors at heart all his great vision for society which is it.
Well the investors say no because the stock is down -- like three dollars you know it should be up in the high thirties or forties side right now if if he was really executing the way this company is expected to execute yeah we got another -- -- without a doubt -- -- -- another 22 dollar -- -- yeah you know Robert I listen to some of the call I gotta tell you it.
He should like a rudderless ship in I think use more innocent time -- at the same time again.
You can't put -- we want to bid I think -- awful lot of confidence last night.
Yeah -- -- either of them mobile hall and -- he needs to dig out and he doesn't have the answers.
And it.
I have a lot of friends on the -- -- mobile team and they're working really hard but they're not able to ship that fast.
They need a new IOS -- they would need a new android -- that I'm -- nexus seven tablets selling out you know.
But Robert you know -- -- FaceBook if there might be a lot of spam and macaroni and cheese in their user numbers.
They may be inflated and other claiming 955 million users when there's a lot of questions around that.
Isn't a problem that now in Facebook's DNA it seems to be to -- the numbers and raise the market's expectations.
Is that a problem.
I think I think that the market should focus wholly on mobile.
The problem with its numbers aren't that there are lots of people I -- I give a speech in that Seattle -- day and mass audience how many people are not on FaceBook.
One guy in the whole audience is not on base but that this is.
The company that had that follow -- it right.
That problem is that.
Audience have moved to tablet PC like -- -- iPad.
I -- and windows eight is coming right market at Stewart's favorite company -- -- has a big tablet thing coming out in a couple months.
I'm.
-- and that more of the users around the world are moving to mobile and there is not very many ads on mobile he needs to fix that problem.
So deep what would be -- -- if the whole ball of wax to you the whole FaceBook thing is getting on mobile on getting the ads on mobile.
When do you think they can do that any any idea.
Whether there's some light at the end of the tunnel for investors apple -- -- has -- -- -- a lot more -- -- -- got stuff.
But a lot more FaceBook immigration into -- -- I found.
And we keep hearing rumors that's coming soon you know September -- October but that probably won't come Intel probably the end of the next quarter so.
That -- -- -- the next quarter's earnings very much but at least.
We see that you know long term investors I think are I've sat up right now okay we need to see a new quiet and we need to see -- new ad network.
That better come out soon you know in the next month cabinet at that done that next quarter's numbers.
We -- you Robert -- and when you speaking with a loud voice that -- -- tech guy thanks so much -- appreciate you being with us again I -- Did you -- today.
