It would be all too easy to say that Facebook’s market meltdown is coming to
an end. After all, Mark Zuckerberg’s social network burned as much as $ 50
billion of shareholders’ wealth in just a couple months. To put that in
context, since its debut(初次登台)on NASDAQ in May, Facebook has lost value
nearly equal to Yahoo, AOL, Zynga, Yelp, Pandora, Open Table, Groupon, LinkedIn,
and Angie’s List combined, plus that of the bulk of the publicly traded

As shocking as this utter failure may be to the nearly 1 billion faithful

the company’s costs surged to $ 2.6 billion in the six-month period.
This so-so performance reflects the Achilles’ heel of Facebook’s business
model, which the company clearly stated in a list of risk factors associated
