When did Facebook Games come into play? edit
Most people say "Snake" is the oldest game on FB, but I can't find its release date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.135.167.21 (talk) 11:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
the infamous "$15 billion valuation" edit
As a site that is supposed to be factual, I think Wikipedia has to not mention that silly $15 billion valuation number from 2008. It was not valued at that high at the time. It was just one stupid blog not understanding the Microsoft deal in which they paid for a small piece of ownership AND ad exclusivity. The bulk of what Microsoft paid was for the ad exclusivity. (Case in point..Microsoft paid about the same amount for the ad exclusivity and the small piece of ownership as Google paid for JUST ad exclusivity on MySpace.) Yes one stupid blog assumed that Microsoft paid for the piece of Facebook and Zuckerberg threw the ad exclusivity in for free, so they did the faulty math and came up with that $15 billion valuation. And as is always the case on the internet, other blogs just mindlessly quoted the original incorrect number as a fact, until enough blogs were posting it and everyone believed it since no one is allowed to think for themselves online.
The very fact that it was assumed to be valued at $15 billion in June 2008, and then just two months later when they ACTUALLY sold some shared to private investors, at a value of $3-5 billion should be the obvious indicator that the $15 billion valuation was BS.
