Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg is the new prince of Silicon Valley. Traffic disclosures from his social networking site—30 million users, tripling in popularity every year—have analysts swooning over a rumored IPO (some have valued the company at up to $10 billion).

The few that haven't will surely wither if the company starts charging for them. We suggest Zuck unload his billion-dollar baby while he still can.
