If some new estimates revealed today are accurate, Facebook could generate between $1 billion and $1.1 billion in revenue this year, a big increase over the $710 million estimate from The Wall Street Journal a few months ago. In fact, the world's largest social network could have made between $600-$700 million in 2009.

The biggest income stream seems to have been performance advertising, which likely accounted for more than half of Facebook's 2009 revenues at $350 million.

Interactions on the web are increasingly distributed and new applications (and campaigns) must be built with a decentralized model in mind. As web apps become increasingly ubiquitous, Apple’s expression, “there’s an app for that†rings truer than ever. In such an environment, first mover advantage becomes increasingly important as early traction can compound quickly via network effects.
One thing that jumps out to me is that the creation of social identity on new systems (such as profiles, personalization and identity) has not really improved. Yes, stuff like Facebook Connect exists, but it’s really only good for the obvious static data and does little in the way of integration based on your historical interactions or types of activity.
