Caroline-- From all that I can tell, Carlson, whose post is receiving far more attention than it deserves, was connecting dots that mostly weren't there.

I'm curious, since you're a professional journalist who I respect: Why do posts like that receive so much attention these days? Is it merely because they are sensationally citing supposedly new information? Do you yourself actually think it possibly true that, as Carlson says, "Facebook needs a hero. And it's gotta be soon." ?

Doubt it if facebook valuation is at $15B. The company has no revenue model that's sustainable. Facebook is fad. I use tagged.com nowaday.

Facebook should go foward and conquer with more cash if investors are willing.
