近日市場傳出消息，指國際投資銀行高盛 (Goldman Sachs) 對社交網站Facebook的估值高達500億美元 (約3,900億港元)。高盛亦與來自俄羅斯的投資機構Digital Sky Technologies (DST) 合共向Facebook注資5億美元。過去微軟及Google於招股前不斷獲投資者熱烈注資而最終成為上市公司，故現時高盛入股或可能加快Facebook上市。 雖然Facebook行政總裁朱克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg) 曾公開表示Facebook不會上市，但有參與今次高盛及DST注資的人士指，Facebook董事局有意考慮在2012年上市。現時高盛與其關係密切，如將來Facebook上市，高盛大有機會成為包銷商或保薦人。 由此可見，社交媒體除了是商家宣傳的重要渠道外，本身也是一門龐大的生意。現代人不單在社交圈層面上不能與社交媒禮分割，甚至連經濟上也與其息息相關。 了解更多
