Jealous of what? No profits, no business plan, fumbling with the developer platform and with Beacon (or whatever their ad platform was called)

Are you suggesting that Facebook isn't successful?

[arockwell]

Facebook is still neither successful or unsuccessful in my eyes. They have yet to turn a profit, but its not clear the company is going to fall off a cliff. They still have a ways to go.

I am concerned they are still raising tons of money and burning through it so quickly.

As a business, it's certainly not a success.

It gets massive number of page views, and is very popular, but business isn't a popularity contest. If you can't figure out how to make money, you're not a successful business.
