Why is that significant? Is there going to be a story every time the stock price changes about which historical company
Facebook is now worth more or less than?
It isn't. Techcrunch just needs to keep their homepage moving and it must be a slow morning.
Probably. It's the "if it bleeds it leads" mentality. What I wonder is if their user base will assume the company's doomed due to all the news about their stock price and move their stuff to Google+ or whatever the next Myspace clone is gonna be.
Maybe because they are valued less than Yahoo, which is a bad state for a company like Facebook to be in? Especially when they opened up with so much hype surrounding them..
They aren't worth less than yahoo, they're worth 2x as much ($42B vs $19B) as of the current moment.
Yahoo is worth much less now than Microsoft offered for them in 2008, so this comparison is just your average TC troll title.
