It wont&#8217; be a viable business proposition for years. He first spoke about at length at the previous call in July, calling it &#8220;the ultimate expression of social technology&rdquo; and something he&rsquo;s &ldquo;dreamed of building since way before I started Facebook that&rsquo;s only starting to come into focus now.&rdquo;\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"admz\" id=\"adm-inline-article-ad-2\">\n<div class=\"adma boomerang\" data-device=\"Desktop\" data-width=\"1\">\n<div style=\"min-width:50px;min-height:75px;\" \tclass=\"pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text\">\n<div id=\"gpt-dl-mid-article-inject2-uid1\" \t\tclass=\"adw-1 adh-1\" data-is-adhesion-ad=\"\"> \t\t<script type=\"application\/javascript\">\n\t\t\tblogherads.adq.push(function () {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tblogherads\n\t\t\t\t\t.defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dl-mid-article-inject2-uid1' )\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.setTargeting( 'pos', [\"mid-article2\",\"mid-articleX\",\"mid-article\",\"mid\",\"300x251\"] )\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.setSubAdUnitPath(\"ros\/mid-article2\")\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.addSize([[300,250],[300,251],[620,350],[2,4],[4,2]])\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t<\/script> \t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Pundits have noted that the criticism swirling around Facebook will only really hit the company or matter to Wall Street if it starts to impact advertising, and that doesn&#8217;t seem to be the case, or if regulators or Congress really steps in, which appears easier than done.
