Spotting The Next Facebook: Why Emotions Are Big Business
Tomorrow Facebook will sell shares in one of the biggest tech IPOs in history. New investors will gobble up the stock to get a piece of the global phenomenon famously started in Mark Zuckerbergs dorm room in 2004. But while owning the stock will have quantifiable value when it trades on the open market, few buyers will be able to say truthfully that they understood the value of the company just a few years ago.Ask yourself candidly, what did you think of Facebook the first time you landed on its homepage? Where you blown away? Could you see how it would fill a gaping need in the lives of nearly a billion people? If youre honest with yourself, and youre not Peter Thiel, your answer is probably, No, not really.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/WYHLuF4q2UA/
