Midwest Coffee Shop: Laptop Screen Audit

Perhaps there is something to this whole Facebook thing.  Sitting in the coffee shop in my sleepy little berg in the Midwest (we get everything last here) mid-day on a Friday.  5 laptops.  4 have Facebook on their screens.

It’s a valley lunchtime game amongst many: what’s the price that Facebook will be picked up for (rumors have been that they were offered about $1.5B a couple years ago and turned it down).  There are those that argue > $5B, I’ve never been able to believe it.  However, if the damn thing has this much market penetration and the average visit length that they claim (something like 30 minutes a day is what I’ve heard), who knows.
