Facebook Now Valued At $67.5 Billion Dollars



You know what the them basically fucking over anyone in virtual currency and taking it over for in game transactions. This figure may actually be to low.
 
Google has a market cap of $201 billion. It is hard to believe that Facebook is worth one third of google, based on the revenue, and free cash google has available...but meh. It doesn't seem as ridiculous as it once did.
 
Makes sense. The more and more I interact with websites, more of them are using Facebook connect for their logins. FB has the best shot at creating a 'virtual ID' at this point.
 
And Twitter is estimated to be valued at $8-10 billion.

And Zynga is estimated to be valued at $6 billion.

And LinkedIn is estimated to be valued at $3 billion.

And Groupon believes they are valued at $15 billion.

All the old timers think they're getting it in good. But are they really? Get in early and sell to someone stupider down the road is a good strategy though.
 
I've got to hand it to the peeps at facebook (love/hate) they are on track to do something that yahoo & AOL attempted and that's become a full portal to the internet. The key element is that while Yahoo tried to become a portal based off the fact that people log on to get "information" news, sports scores, weather, etc.

Facebook is providing all of that AND its personal. People are more interested in themselves and what their friends are up too/think/have to say on topics and that's going to be the element that will keep users hooked and allows them to continue to grow.

so are they worth 67 billion? who the fuck knows.. Googles come up with and invested in tons of services, but when it comes to revenue they have always been a bit of a one trick pony (adwords) and I don't think facebook's path is going to be a lot different based on the current things they are doing.. (unless they can actually get facebook deals ahead of groupon)

At the end of the day no matter how much or little money these companies really bring in the real value is going to lie in what investors perceive and are willing to pay.
 
the thing is, there is at least a 33% chance that with facebook's lock in, millions of site integrations, virtual currency, the coming smartphone boom, display network, developer platform, and all the other shit they are doing, they could end up worth more than google. So I really can't say that valuation is unrealistic, cause for all we know it could end up low when they go public. They do have 2 billion a year in revenue, and they haven't scratched the surface of what they can do with social ads.

....and $200m profit, maybe.

The valuation puts every user at some absurd number like $150 each. I don't know the math, someone did it though and posted it on TC or TechDirt or some tech blog, don't remember where I saw it. And that is including all the fake/dead/spam profiles. It's fucking ridiculous.

There is definitely another tech bubble and Facebook is leading the way.
 
I'm so happy to know about FACEBOOK.

Facebook is such a place where people can promote their business and be in touch with others by creating fan pages.

There are few pages in facebook that have 19.7 million followers in Facebook

one such kind of example is

Starbucks | Facebook
 
With all these billion dollar companies like groupon. It gives me hope there is still billion dollar opportunities online. You dont need to be google or facebook. Innovation and niches.
