Yet to make a profiit? So how come the 26 (or 27) year old owner is a billionaire?

Investors. Sure he's not too worried about making a profit would be easy to sell the company for billions.Yeah, he was on TV one day and he said he still lives in a one room apartment.... if he thinks logically he is a billionaire if he was too sell facebook? HONESTLY really surprised he hasn't sold it yet, maybe he has bigger plans set for it.I cannot think of much more he could possibly integrate that wouldnt make users sick of it, I can see it (hope im wrong) to be covered with pointless WEB adds.I doubt you'll see it "covered with pointless web adds". Hopefully, the volume of ads won't have to become much greater than now. Some advertising is unavoidable unless they go to a fee-based subscription approach, like classmates.com, which is something I doubt very much will happen. But, the revenue has to come from somewhere. Really, how do any sites like that, myspace, youtube ect make any money? Clik...clik..clik.........This is making the rounds....
