they compared the rise and fall of myspace to facebook's google searches. they say the site has already reached the peak of its popularity and has started to decline. in october the company admitted to losing a large portion of its teen members. researchers estimate facebook will lose 80% of its users by 2015. >>> netflix planning to offer new streaming features that would be customized to your home. for $12 a month, four people would be able to stream four different movies in one household. netflix says it would then lower prices from $7.99 it $6.99 for customers that only stream one video at a time. a spokesman for the company says this is a trail run. there's no guarantee that the plans will be rolled out to all 44 million net flick customers. >>> in news 4 your health now, a new study says working the night shift can damage your health and cause problems in your dna that's according to researchers at england's suri university. blood tests show that when sleeping normally, 6% of your gene are timed to be more or less active at certain times of the day. t

facebook is the modern way. other than google, for advertisers to connect with potential buyers. it puts an end to that old song, 50% of advertising works, i just wish i knew which. at facebook, it is 100% of the advertising that works, which is why this company might be the greatest advertising vehicle of all time. it can be used for branding, direct marketing, local and national through a preselected audience that wants the product and likes the ads and that audience is the right demographic. meaning advertisers are reaching them before these people have made up their minds about what they like and they're often set in their ways about the prefaces when they get older, so they become too hard to sway. facebook gets them when you need them. i realize i wasn't giving facebook enough credit. since tv doesn't work as well as facebook on your mobile phone and 50% of the ads are on hand helds, they've crossed that threshold, i can see facebook taking serious ad dollars that would be destined for elsewhere. facebook has accelerating revenue growth. you know what that means. argh. and e

the different with facebook and google and with facebook and google, they have an incentive to make users trust them. that is where you have the checks and balances. that is why they allow you to opt out or update you on the privacy laws. the nsa doesn't have that. >> i think that is what marissa meyer's point was this week. bruce, ceos are asking the government for more transparency. how hackers are getting credit card information. it is all kind of rich all this opinion out there about spying and whose credibility is hurt by whom. we are not going back to a world without e-mail or social media. what needs to change? >> or a world without cell phones. transparency is important. while it is true that the companies wants to trust them, they get us to trust them often by lying and it is very hard to set facebook's privacy settings. you can set them to whether your friends can see you post, you are not allowed to set them for the advertisers. a lot of this works because we don't know what is going on. transparency both for corporations and for governments is extraordinarily important here. >
