Twitter, Facebook Grossly Overvalued: 'Build Traffic and the Profits Will Come' Isn't True

You must have some vested interest in facebook to pump it up like this. There is no way a sane person would value facebook as a viable company in next 5 years. Unless facebook finds a business model it is not going to be able to support it self. Most of the recent growth has been coming from international market where the advertising money is not as much. An Indian user on facebook isn't as valuable as a US one. Don't forget that an ad costs 1/50 (due to currency difference) that of in US i.e. 1/50 of revenue. But the same user can potentially use as much bandwidth as a user in USA. This scenario is destructive even in case of good business model.

Yahoo Management Still Doesn't 'Get' the Innovation of Its Own Services

Thomas Hawk,
Since you didn't put a disclosure; I would put one for you. He is a CEO of Zooomr whose company has exact replica of Flickr but tiny in size and is so hurt by the fact that once upon a time some of his photographs were deleted from Flickr by some editors. This irked him so much that now, he always rants about any executives who doesn't own a flickr account.
