As Facebook.com's mastermind, Mark Zuckerberg is sitting on a potential gold mine that could make him the next Silicon Valley whiz kid to strike it rich. But the 22-year-old founder of the Internet's second largest social-networking site also could turn into the next poster boy for missed opportunities if he waits too long to cash in on Facebook Inc., which is expected to generate revenue of more than $100 million this year. The bright outlook is one reason Zuckerberg felt justified spurning several takeover bids last year, including a $1 billion offer from Yahoo Inc. This might be a great opportunity. He might consider selling off his company for shares plus cash so that at least there will be some stable income rather than just a one time payment. There are a lot of sites that goes this way, being build, get famous then being snapped out by big firms. One of the most notable one will be Hotmail.
