True, today is totally different than 5 years ago in terms of technology and how integrated the Internet is into everyone's lives. History shows that these social sites last a few years, maybe up to 5, and then a new lighter system sweeps in and slowly pulls users from a bloated system. Though like you said, FB is no longer just a social media site as Google is no longer just a search engine. Will be interesting to see what happens next.

The valuation on some of these Internet companies is unreal. I don't know enough about the stock market to know how they really work, but it has to be based on hype and quick money, I don't see any other way.
