I seriously thought this was an April Fool's joke article, then I saw the March 28th date.

That's a crazy amount for a 2 year old site.

At Google events larry and blond g-friend are always in evidence. I've never gotten a good look at her, but honestly, more power to her.

KKF,

These types of sites can be started for essentially nothing.

Absoulutly unreal. 750 mil? And they turned it down. Ugh. Must mean they think it will go for more. Wow. Just wow.

I don't understand why facebook was such a hit. Websites like classmates.com and many others have been around for a very long time. So what made this such a huge innovation? Is is simply because it's more "myspace" like? I dunno i haven't used any of those sites.

Facebook looking for $2 Billion

"the company was launched just two years ago by a group of sophomores at Harvard University, led by Mark Zuckerberg"

All you college kids are gonna make this dude RICH.

Also, here are pics of a $12B girlfriend Larry Page and girlfriend.

wasn't there a blog posting at CNET or some other place that said they think the offer was actually placed to drive additional interest about the business?

Interestingly enough the following day NewsGroup released some stats on MySpace, apparently its the best performing online media vehicle they have.

- note this is all from memory, I haven't fact checked.
