Zuckerberg: Most of Facebook Will Be Video Within Five Years

jfruh writes: Facebook recently held its first ever town-hall meeting in which Mark Zuckerberg took questions from the general public, and one of his answers might raise some eyebrows. When asked if the increasing numbers of photos being uploaded might strain the company's servers, he said the infrastructure is more than up to the task, because they're preparing for the notion that "in five years, most of [Facebook] will be video."

I bet you were one of the Facebook bashers who ran around here chanting that GoogleMinus was going to make Facebook die a few years back too.
 
You know, we get it, you hate Facebook. Fair enough. I can't say I blame you. But after a decade and a half of listening to the Slashdot peanut gallery I've come to realize that the only way you guys would ever make a million dollars in business is if you started with a billion dollars.
 
While Facebook isn't exactly going gangbusters it is still increasing its user base. This talk that it's dead and we should stick a fork in it reeks of the same kind of mentality that makes investors pull their money out of a company because they're only showing a 10% increase in revenue and not 20%. Nothing more and nothing less than knee jerk nonsense.
 
See you around when the next Facebook article appears here and you come up with nothing but a handful of crap to sling as justification for why you think Facebook is failing.
