Is Facebook valuation more than Google?
Added On:7/11/2011 4:41:00 PM

Facebook's popularity continues to grow day by day thereby raising questions on the social networking giant's present valuation of nearly $75bn being too low. It is reported that Facebook is the first website to cross one trillion page views per month, arising speculations that it could be the first company valued at over $1tb.

Some analysts are even arguing that Facebook’s market worth is bigger than Google. Presently, Google is valued at approximately $175bn, primarily for its search/ad business. Though Facebook's own ad revenue lags behind Google’s, its potential is definitely big.

Facebook is a leading social networking medium and it has earned the position with an essentially open-source platform, which is almost unfeasible for the early open-source crowd.

Facebook’s usership recently reached 750 million and the social site needs more users to generate the $1bn-plus in sales that are driving it toward a massive IPO.

As uncertainty always surrounds the social networks (see the fate of Friendster and Myspace), fear is also on the rise that users may dump Facebook tomorrow. In light of Google+, Facebook may bite the dust pretty soon.

But this is unlikely, as Facebook knows how to keep the interest of users alive and won’t make the mistakes like its forerunners.
