Would you put a value of a hundred billion on it it bearing in mind -- is ten billion.

Easily easily based on you're looking at -- as a hundred million I think last count was a hundred million users can FaceBook.

Has 500 million.

So we'll look probably looking at about a hundred billion dollars valuation and that's and that's on the -- what is -- to new.

In the way that the Internet with bullets on the -- with Netscape in the mid nineties new paradigm new huge area.

Million people in the average FaceBook user.

Is spending an hour and 36 minute I don't think -- from the newspaper by the -- themselves they haven't turned -- into them until they don't help -- think that took -- -- money -- correct correct -- -- -- -- -- they're starting to -- I -- FaceBook -- -- link and -- linked in ads and there's trying to create campaigns however we're -- adding that billions -- -- -- 500 million people -- an -- that's a lot of -- nobody clicks so that's a baseball hall -- don't click on the -- but there's -- there's an audience there so even though they haven't completely yet figured out.

Where -- these companies going I mean.

Right now a FaceBook is much more of a household name that -- and I guarantee if you ask anybody ages five to twelve they're probably gonna have no fluently now.

You're wrong Linkedin is appropriate for the business fitting end used for for the business -- right so if you're looking to network with in the business community you're only going to -- is it.

All the time you did all the time.

Now they're obviously -- -- absolutely not absolutely not have no vested interest other than.

I'm an end user I'm also a business owner and I see how much time on spending on these out but most of monetizing YouTube because but.

I want to talk with him I was I was about to get on to Stuart Varney that that goes over.

I'm tweeting around them they are looking around among -- Hagan beyond -- that -- I I got 4000 friends on FaceBook and at 3000 Lincoln and that's that's a great media platform.

But now what I was gonna say though this open does help your business though right yeah that your business got to be boom a lot of young kids saying -- know what I'll work for -- for free by could be the next Mark Zuckerberg brought.

And what's wrong with that I know we're going -- country.

There's no there's not tech bubble anywhere although I just about my partner in China and you are seeing this you know you see -- -- a lot of this -- now looking -- Americans saying hey so -- the land of really the land of opportunity in the land of innovation.
