    I wont be buying any but you can buy them in the UK.

    Yahoo has lots of different write ups about the shares, heres one, and another
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    I'm no expert, but something that's likely to disappear overnight one day doesn't sound like the best investment to me..
  • Its not going to disappear overnight but its not worth 27 PE either. I think you'd be better off with Google which is more of an emerging social network but with standing assets yielding large advertising revenue

    Often its companies which feed a gold rush that do best or at least are more undervalued

    Telegraph Questor mentions them

    Google+ is emerging? I thought I'd killed it by signing up, as I've not seen anything happen on there since :)

    is it not selling at 27 times revenue?
  • Yes his description sounded alot closer to that. That reminds me, its an IPO trick to state earnings before deductions or something stupid like that, basically revenue like you say.

    Almost every company has costs and worries relating to that. Google for example is the worlds 3rd largest computer maker, yet you've never seen a Google computer have you. Thats because they have no screens and are never sold to anyone but their own departments.
    Server farms so large, google was setting up their own google power station at one point but changed their minds
  • Absolutely not.
