While Google makes what FB does in two weeks, they are equal in traffic. This shows how much they can grow once they start to monetize everything - that's how damn big they are.

If Google is worth it, then FB is damn sure worth it.
They didn't make a billion dollars or even $100m last quarter:

The sources said the company had 2010 revenue of $45 million but lost money as it hired and invested in data centers, according to the Journal.
2010 revenue was $45 million for the year - and they lost money.

A company that only makes $45 mil in a year and in fact loses money is worth ten billion? Put down the fucking crack pipe.
