Facebook set to double revenue
FACEBOOK’S full year revenues are set to double this year, reaching a staggering $4.3bn (£2.75bn), according to research by eMarketer.
The firm, which last week decided to delay its long-mooted IPO until late 2012, will take the majority of its revenues – $3.8bn – from advertising, with more than half of this in the US.
The news comes ahead of the F8 developers’ conference, in which the company is expected to launch a raft of new products.
