How do websites like youtube.com & facebook.com make money?

I was wondering how social networks such as facebook.com make money? Websites such as youtube.com, and wikipedia.com also come to mind. There seems to be little to no advertising, and the amount, if any of advertising they have seems small, and oblique, making me assume revenue from these ads do not equate to the costs of operating such sites.





I understand youtube.com has not been a profitable company at all, at least until Google.com had purchased it. No word on how that will change it's revenue though.





Please let me know your thoughts.

You can't really modify facebook the way you can with myspace or friendster and wouldn't be able to use anything found on an outside site, you can however look through the facebook based applications and use them as you wish.

I want to block a site--> unb.facebook.com How?

I want to block this site as my mom is addicted to facebook and tells me to get off the computer when I am doing homework and other important stuff. I have blocked facebook.com already but she is using unb.facebook.com to get around it. How can I block this but have it so she can not tell that it is blocked (for regular facebook I changed the ip address for when you type it in so it takes her to yahoo but it does not work for the other one) Thanks for your help everyone in advance.

I want to block a site--%26gt; unb.facebook.com How?
Steps





1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc


2] Find the file named "HOSTS"


3] Open it in notepad


4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.sitenameyouwantblocked.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.


5] Done!





-So-





127.0.0.1 localhost


127.0.0.2 www.blockedsite.com





- www.blockedsite.com is now unaccessable








For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.





IE:


127.0.0.3 www.blablabla.com


127.0.0.4 www.blablabla.com


127.0.0.5 www.blablabla.com

How to go on facebook.com at school?

Hi everyone, Ive been wanted to get around school blocks for a long time. Ive always wanted to go on sites like myspace.com and facebook.com at school. Ive used proxies such as:


www.undofilters.com

and was wondering if there were any other ways to get on myspace and facebook besides proxies?

Reply:my school has blocked about every site possible but they haven't caught onto www.facebook.uk yet.
Reply:The best way is using a proxy, and my favorite is https://www.vtunnel.com/





Take note of the s after http though, that's what makes it pretty much unblockable by school computer administrators. You could also get xB Browser, and put it on your flash drive, then run it from the computer you're working on. It uses its own proxies, but it's cool because you don't have to go to the proxy THEN your website, and it also doesn't block Java, meaning you can still watch YouTube, not like most proxies. It's also based on Firefox, which is my browser of choice.
Reply:Proxies... ahh there are so many! You just have to search whilst at home, and make a list of as MANY you can find. Then save a list as a word doc and bring it into school and try every sinle one on the list, until you find one that works. When you do keep it to yourself so it's less likley to be found. Ill help you start your list:

Reply:I got a facebook a long time ago so I don't remember exactly what that was, but I'm guessing it's the image thing. So there should be an image that shows up, with some letter and numbers on it... you type those same letters and numbers into the box (usually with no spaces, even if there are spaces in the picture).

Who started facebook.com?

How much money do they make a year?


What makes face book better than mysapce.com?


What kind Advertising do they do for facebook.com

Who started facebook.com?
Mark Zuckerberg created facebook.com





I don't know how much they make but companies have invested money into facebook.


Accel Partners put in about $13 million


PayPal founder Peter Thiel invested $500,000


$25 million in funding in a financing round led by Greylock Partners





Well, for one thing facebook allows you to find students that are attending your school, unlimited photo albums, don't receive spam, and people are only allowed to have an account with their school emails. Also, facebook has a better user interface than myspace but myspace allows anyone to get an account. So, the decision of whether facebook is better than myspace depends on what you are looking for.

I can't login to facebook.com . My password and username are correct though. (Read details)?

I just registered at facebook.com


I received my confirmation email, I clicked the link, and I can not access after clicking log in, firefox returns the following message:


"The page isn't redirecting properly


Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.


*This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."





I have tried logging in with Safari and Firefox on Mac, and even IE on Windows.


Something really weird happens. Now when I try to access facebook.com, the adress in the adress bar changes from one URL to another, and in the end, I get the same message from my browser.


I can not even contact the facebook support team, because I can not access their website.


Any ideas on how to solve this issue and WHY is it happening?

Trouble logging into facebook.com from motorola rizr z3, any help??

I just purchased a motorola rizr z3....I have tried troubleshooting with tmobile but that did not work. apparently because i am able to visit other sites from my phone, there is no issue with my actual phone. i can actually get to m.facebook.com or facebook.com from my phone but once i try to login with my email and password I get a message that says FETCH REDIRECTED URL it gives me the options of yes or no. after choosing yes the message just pops up. i can do this 4 or 5 times and then i will get the message PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. also when i try to visit myspace.com i instantly get the PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED message without even being able to view the login page. any one else experience this? or know how to fix it? thanks!!

You might be referring to those who have "Facebook Pages" which is what companies and political figures and musicians and such have. They use a different naming convention than normal facebook users, since its a commercial user not a individual. Take a look at the full address bar for more information on that particular page.

Reply:I use facebook cause it's an easy way to find kids in your school. They're adding more applications that u can add to ur profile to make it better, so its pretty good. I like myspace more... I'd give anyone my myspace, just dont put ur phone number on ur profile, and if u do then make ur profile private and only accept or send invites to people u know. Facebook is a little safer, u belong to a network and its basically just ur friends...

how can i access facebook if my school blocks it?

Facebook.com?
It is likely that your school is blocking access to the servers that host facebook. The user who suggested downloading Firefox onto a memory key, that will not work. No matter what browser you use, if the site is blocked at the edge of the network you'll be out of luck. The primary option you have is using an external proxy server, or one of the anonymous browsing services. You can google for them, and find one that works for you. Another option is connecting to your computer at home via Remote Desktop, and browsing via that computer. However it is likely that if your school network is locked down, they will also have blocked the RDP port (3389).
Reply:this is a good question that all nerd face. (not that you are a nerd) just download portable firefox onto a flash drive and bring it to school. that always works for me!

Besides those people who have 20934093284 facebook friends are so lame, all my facebook friends are people I KNOW and that I converse with.





This isn't myspace people.


Facebook.com?

I just found out that Orlando Bloom has placed a profile on Facebook.com under a disguise in order to meet single women. How is going to do that if there are no personal ads on that site and you have to be invited or already have friends on there? I don't understand this site anyway.

Facebook.com?
Original Answer:


Just to let you know, Orlando Bloom was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night(5/15/07) and he said so himself that he hasn't taken his new computer out of the box ,because he's terrified of it, and he doesn't even know what MySpace is. I would have to assume ,based on that fact, that if he doesn't know what MySpace is then he probably doesn't know what Facebook is either. More than likely the person you found on Facebook is just one of 100s of Orlando Bloom posers that are on the internet.





If you don't believe me go to http://www.elflady.com/orlandolove/showp... to watch clips of the show and see the proof for yourself.














Edit Added May 16, 2007 at 5:30pm CST:


Ok, so you received an alert from Yahoo, but I really don't see how that's supposed to make it legit. Just because the alert said that "Orlando Bloom" was going to be doing that doesn't mean that the "Orlando Bloom" that they're talking about is actually the real one. There are all kinds of people out there on the internet "claiming" to be celebrities and you can never be sure if you've actually found the real one or not.





Personally, I think ,even though the alert is telling you that "Orlando Bloom" is going to be doing something, the person you are being alerted about is a poser. I base that on the fact that Orlando said he hasn't taken his computer out of the box and doesn't know what MySpace is even though this is Facebook that we're talking about. It's up to you to use your best judgment and decide if you think the person is real or not.





One thing that I really don't understand about all of this is that you said, "I do not know what name he is going under, just that it is a friend's name and picture." Ok, if you don't know what name he's going under then how did you even get a Yahoo alert about "Orlando Bloom" in the first place?





This all just really does not make any sense to me. Are you sure it's not an Orlando Bloom group on Facebook that you're being alerted about? What exactly does the alert say anyway?














Edit Added May 17, 2007 At 4:28pm CST:


I saw the newest details that you added to your question. I've read that article before, but I don't remember it saying anything about him setting up an account on Facebook.com I ,personally, think it may be something from a tabloid. It looks like they've taken parts of an article from a reputable magazine/newspaper and added their own stuff. If I were you I wouldn't believe it for a second. He said so himself that he hasn't taken his computer out of the box because he's terrified of it. That right there should wave a red flag about the alert.





I agree with you about Facebook being too complicated. I had an account there, but I canceled it.

Reply:It's all lies, I saw Orlando Bloom on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, last night, he said, he just bought his first computer and hasn't taken it out of the box yet. He also said he heard someone has been using his name on my space.and other sites.
Reply:how did u find out? and is it really him? whats the name he goes by? you can actually get on this site without having to be invited, its open to the public now.
