Facebook valued at a current $40 billion, more ads imminent

This is a little info on what's going on with Facebook right now (At Home Computer).  Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and (co-)founder of Facebook, acknowledges his desire to move forward with more advertising-driven products.  Google's value exploded when they rolled out AdSense a mere 6 years after their launch.  Many people think (or hope) this could be the beginning of the end for Facebook, as a brief forensic look at Myspace will tell us that it was the excess selling of adspace that brought it down.  And as many of you know, since a year and a half ago, Myspace has been seen by many as "like the wild wild west or Las vegas of social media: dirty and ghetto."
