Really? Did photos set them under? Almost all FB photos are low resolution compared with the 10MP ones I throw on Flickr and get much less traffic in my estimate.
I believe you, but its amazing that bandwidth costs for photos could set them under for such a long time.
They get more than twice the photo traffic Flickr does. It's also interesting, looking at that second graph and realizing that Facebook hasn't peaked yet. Did you know that according to Compete Facebook is visited nearly as much as Yahoo and Google? Or that it's got 250% the traffic of MySpace?
You are always in the knee of an exp curve. There is no point in the future where the growth breaks down your models. That is a persistent state of the world right now.
Didn't Facebook only achieve profitability a month or so ago? Or have I missed something?
