User-generated content may have changed the Internet, but sites like YouTube are suffocating under the costs of storing it
Collapse 2.0?
Government bailout?
How long can they all last without profit?
“YouTube isn’t alone in Poor House 2.0. Yahoo bought the popular photo-sharing site Flickr in 2005, and though the service might be marginally profitable, it certainly hasn’t added appreciably to Yahoo’s bottom line. (Yahoo similarly doesn’t break out Flickr’s financials.) Facebook provides an even better example. The social network is running up a huge tab to store and serve up all the photos, videos, and other junk you stuff into your profile. Last year, TechCrunch reported that Facebook spends $1 million a month on electricity, $500,000 a month on bandwidth, and up to $2 million per week on new servers to keep up with its users’ insatiable photo-uploading needs. (Members post nearly a billion photos every month.) But Facebook gets relatively little in return for storing all your memories. Ad rates on its network are terribly low, the company doesn’t make a profit, and it hasn’t shed any light on how it will make good on investments that valued the company at $15 billion.”
In Developing Countries, Web Grows Without Profit
NY Times piece on the explosion of YouTube, Facebook, etc… without profit. This seems to be the Achilles heal of Web 2.0. Lots of bang for no buck.

“Your Facebook Profile Makes Marketers’ Dreams Come True”
Seriously, has this been said before? If not, it should be said every time you log in to Facebook! WIRED does a good job detailing exactly why you should be weary of Facebook AND why they just might make a few bucks off of you…
