As i saw the reviews,i found out 
facebook is making plenty of money from the day it is published..now over $4 billion annual revenue is recorded!!and it could be $10 or $15 billion annual revenue in coming 5 years or so.As i quote from yahoo..
Without me, and the other 844,999,999 people poking, liking and 
sharing on the site, Facebook would look like a scene from the 
postapocalyptic movie "The Day After Tomorrow": bleak, desolate and 
really quite sad. (Or MySpace, if that is easier to imagine.) Facebook 
surely would never be valued at anything close to $100 billion, which it
 very well could be in its coming initial public offering.
In the company's S-1 filing, submitted to the Securities and Exchange
 Commission this week, Facebook boasts about its statistics: annually, 
people "like" one trillion things; 91 billion photos are uploaded; half a
 billion people use Facebook on mobile phones; and hundreds of millions 
are annoyingly "poked."
So all this leaves me with a question: Where's my cut? I helped build
 this thing, too. Facebook laid the foundation of the house and put in 
the plumbing, but we put up the walls, picked out the furniture, painted
 and hung photos, and invited everyone over for dinner parties.
I for one would feel more comfortable with Facebook looking through 
my phonebook, wallet and underwear drawer if I knew I was going to get 
paid for it.
Jaron Lanier, one of the deepest thinkers on the impacts of 
technology on society and an "innovator in residence" at the Annenberg 
School at the University of Southern California, worries about companies
 like Facebook and Twitter not paying their users while the people lucky
 enough to work for them become rich from free user-generated content. 
Mr. Lanier says that as more money flows to those who build these 
networks, society distorts and divides. Those without the skills needed 
in this new economy - other than to tweet and post pictures - can fall 
further behind economically. 
"The value comes from the people; none of it is self-created," Mr. 
Lanier said in an interview. He warns that if society doesn't devise 
economic solutions to social networks, there could be "serious social 
blowback."
Sure, $50 might not seem like a lot of money right now, but if 
Facebook continues to grow as it has in the past, its $4 billion in 
annual revenue could be in the tens of billions of dollars in a few 
years. If that happens, I should be expecting a dividend.
So, Mr. Zuckerberg, feel free to message me on Facebook, and I'll 
give you my address so you can send me a check - unless, as I suspect, 
you already know where I live.
So,with this kind of statement..i think most of the users of facebook has the rights to get some cash from the CEO..well,we all need cash right?? =D and nowadays,facebook-ing been a daily requirement in life for most of the teens out there.so why not??
