4:28 pm
businesses will be paid to get exposure in the newsfeed. we will see a lot of businesses that have been relying on posting on their facebook page they will pay to get the posts seen in the newsfeed. i think this might be good for linkedin and twitter because a lot of marketers are going to potentially be looking to other social networks. >> you think this will attract more people? there are already 2 billion people that use facebook. have they had a plateau where they still growing? >> facebook has the largest data repository on user behavior and they probably know things we do not. my guess is there beginning to see declining interaction and they know people are not spending as much time, not getting as much of a good experience in as the result there making radical changes. i think what will happen is it will not hurt facebook in the long run because wherever there are 2 billion people there will be plenty of advertisers.>> thank you so much for your insight.
