Facebook by the numbers: Mixed bag

One of the biggest buildups since Geraldo broke into Al Capone's safe is over. Facebook just reported its second-quarter earnings, making a bit of history and allowing the rest of us to get a read on what's going on at the world's largest social network.

In this, Facebook's first-ever quarter as a publicly traded company, the company lost $157 million on revenue of $1.18 billion. Though revenues were up from a year ago -- analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had a consensus projection at $1.1 billion -- the news still sent Facebook's stock plummeting after hours.
