Facebook Ain't For Sale

OK, so he didn't really tell them to stuff their offer, but he did say no AND he made Google CEO Eric Schmidt sit on the floor of his apartment during their talks. To hear Zuckerberg describe his little apartment you have to wonder why he said no to $15 billion. Surely he was tempted...one mattress on the floor with a table in the corner and two seats? Come on!

But, Zuckerberg stood his ground and said the end goal wasn't to sell. Although many think Zuckerberg should sell while Facebook is hot and bank the cash, it seems the young CEO is interested in plowing forward. Wonder how his venture-capital co-owners felt about that move?

What do you think? Should he have taken the money? How much is Facebook really worth? [USA Today]
