Agora lido na BusinessWeek Online:

"So with each passing month, investors, big media companies, and advertisers are being forced to seriously consider whether social networking sites can have a viable long-term business model.

"Facebook, a site for college and high-school students, plans to announce Apr. 19 that it has raised $25 million in its latest round of funding from venture-capital firms. That same day, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (
NWS), is expected to announce that it is taking a minority stake in SimplyHired, a job-hunting site with a strong social-networking component."
