Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog: The “$15 billion” nonsense
requires it to inject $240 million into Facebook’s cash-strapped coffers
That makes me completely crazy. $240,000,000. Cash-strapped. Facebook.
Two hundred and forty million dollars.
Why bother making stuff? Physical stuff, I mean. Code up something. Slap into CICS V2 (or V5, who cares?). Get millions, two hundred and forty of them, to do…what?
Back in the 90s, Facebook was facetiously referred to as V2V. Vendor-to-vendor. Time-consuming and wasteful, though slightly useful — never, ever in relation to the dollars spent. Clearly, someone’s figured out how to make two hundred and forty million dollars out of networking.
I stand in awe.
