Zuckerberg dilemmas – sell or build??

Remember http://friendster.com – the popular networking site that got a buy offer from Goggle in 2003? I don’t …I just read about it. OK, this was a test question related to what an investor should do after his business reaches a certain level. It is the dilemma Mark Zuckenberg, founder of http://facebook.com faces right now. Should he sell the social-networking site to Google or should he keep on building?

The build-or-sell dilemma facing Zuckerberg is becoming more common among the precocious entrepreneurs immersed in the latest Internet craze, a communal concept of content sharing that has been dubbed Web 2.0. Besides Facebook, other Web 2.0 firms frequently mentioned as prime takeover targets include online video site Metacafe.com and Photobucket.com, which has emerged as one of the Internet's busiest destinations by hosting personal videos and photos that are routinely linked to top social-networking sites such as Myspace.com and Facebook.
